Problem with find in script
Hi
I am updating one script as follows find $HOME -mount -size +1 \( ! \( -name *_Entry_*.xml.gz \) -name "*.gz" -o -name "*.Z" \) -mtime +1 -print | becomes: find $HOME -mount -size +1 \( ! \( -name *_Entry_*.xml.gz -o -name *_ECI_*.xml.gz \) -name "*.gz" -o -name "*.Z" \) -mtime +1 -print | But it seems that the newer version does not work. Could you pls help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong.  Thanks a lot Cheers Gnom

You also need to quote the patterns inside the braces, especially when they contain wildcards, otherwise the command works fine:
Code:
find $HOME -mount -size +1 \( ! \( -name "*_Entry_*.xml.gz" -o -name "*_ECI_*.xml.gz" \) -name "*.gz" -o -name "*.Z" \) -mtime +1 -print
