find command from shell scipt (ksh) problem
Hi experts,
I have a simple shell script as follows.
#!/bin/ksh
FIND_STRING="\( -name 'testfile*.Z' -o -name 'DUMMY_*' \) "
find /tmp -type f $FIND_STRING -print
When I run this with ksh -x testscript, I get the following output.
+ FIND_STRING=\( -name 'testfile*.Z' -o -name 'DUMMY_*' \)
+ find /tmp -type f \( -name 'testfile*.Z' -o -name 'DUMMY_*' \) -print
find: 0652-009 There is a missing conjunction
If I cut and paste the second line of the output into the dollar prompt, it works fine. Donot know what is happening . I had posted a similar error few weeks before, but now I could pinpoint to a 2 liner.
Thanks in advance for your help.
