However, when I try the same command under Cygwin (from a 4NT prompt, not Bash), I get "find: missing argument to '-exec' ". I tried a variety of modifications to the command but nothing makes this work. What am I missing?? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
