Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Redirecting 'find' output... Post 302248003 by dan-e on Thursday 16th of October 2008 10:38:37 PM
Old 10-16-2008
OK! Good advice guys... but the mystery is still unsolved.

Adding -print to the end of the command did fix the issue with all file names being output (cheers zaxxon), like so:
Code:
find / -type f -name "*.ksh" -print

... now I get only the files I care about, but it still won't append the output to file! It will redirect to the file, but not append.

Any clues to that end? Is it possible to disable append-redirection?

Here's a handy take-home pack of the BS I am experiencing:
Code:
qmmm1#cat testfind.sh                                               | < My little script
find / -type f -name "*.tar" -print>tars.txt                        | < Find em once and dump to file
pwd >> tars.txt                                                     | < ...just to make a mark in output file
find / -type f -name "*.tar" -print>>tars.txt                       | < Find em again and append to file
                                                                    |
