Hello James,

I never even imagined that a *nix-style "find" would be available in QShell.
If in doubt, just try. Every new release of the OS brought additional commands into the game.
I will note that the syntax looks more like the Mac OS version than the Debian version.
I now hear for the first time that there are differences.
But I'm getting some peculiar results.
If I do
find . -name *.jar
in /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk80/64bit, then it *only* returns ./IBMmisc.jar; it doesn't look in any subdirectories.
As John pointed out: Unix shells traditionally expand wildcards *before* passing the completed list to a command. Also a reason why you need to escape the final semi colon: Otherwise it would be expanded by the shell to "now follows the next command in the same line".
So you need to think a bit ahead: Where do you need wildcards being expanded: By the shell, so a called program will get the list of files to work on? Or is the program itself (like find) meant to use the wildcards as strings by itself?
:wq! PoC
