This is close to what I was trying before. Is there a way I can pipe the output of locate into xargs? The filesystem is 680 Gigs and I'd like to only search it once if possible. This doesn't work: # slocate -i -d /tmp/04vfile001_db *.wmv | xargs -0 ls -l Thanks On Fri, Feb 11, 2005 at 01:33:11AM +0200, Giorgos Keramidas <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> wrote: > > Use -print0 (that's a zero at the end of print), and the -0 option of > xargs.
