----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Smithurst" <ben@scientia.demon.co.uk> To: "Shawn Barnhart" <swb@grasslake.net> | Look at -prune. If you only want to find files in the current directory, | try something like, | | find . \( ! -name . -type d -prune \) -or \( other_contition -print \) | | where "other_condition" should be replaced appropriately. If you want | the directories printed as well, put "-print" after "-prune" or remove | the "-print" from the end, making the default to print any file matching | either condition. | | This probably doesn't work the same as -maxdepth but it might work for | what you want. It seems to work close enough, although it's added complexity. I guess I wish there was a -maxdepth option, or a port for gnu findutils. Gnu find seems superior to freebsd's find.
