Gnu find has a -maxdepth directive that > lets you specify how deep to go. Look at -prune. If you only want to find files in the current directory, try something like, find . \( ! -name . -type d -prune \) -or \( other_contition -print \) where "other_condition" should be replaced appropriately. If you want the directories printed as well, put "-print" after "-prune" or remove the "-print" from the end, making the default to print any file matching either condition. This probably doesn't work the same as -maxdepth but it might work for what you want. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
