Its > annoying, but is it fixable? It's because of the -X option of find (which tells find to complain if the file has a space, ", or ' in it, because it is passing the results back to xargs). It would be nice if find had another flag that would return a file name with ' marks around the file name or a \ before the "bad" character instead of just complaining about it. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.
