I found this message on the net....
cd to the directory in question so that you can use . in the find
command,
then, for example,
find . \( ! -name . -prune \) -name \*.c -print
It seems to work, but I don't understand why *.c doesn't need to be
quoted....
Also, it seems that this doesn't find recursively, but I'm not sure if
the shell isn't processing the wildcard....
find /mypath/*.txt
I need a better understanding of how shells and unix type utilities
work! :)
Anybody know a good manual?
Thanks,
Charles

Sadly there IS a switch however it's not supported by find in PASE.
Worked through that myself just yesterday.

Dennis,
Is there a switch I'm not seeing to make find non-recursive?
Thanks,

What's the currently recommended way of purging IFS files by date?
I found an old utility from Scott Klement, that comes really close
directory,perfect. The only issue is it purges everything in a given
atI'd like to be able to pass a wildcard file name. I haven't look
findit in detail, but I suspect that modifying it to process file name
wildcards would be non-trivial. Then again, perhaps not if I can
rm {} \;an good example of comparing a wild card value to another string,find /my_path -mtime ${PURGE_DAYS} -name "${WILDCARD_NAMES}" -exec
(regex perhaps? but might be overkill).
