This makes no sense in a unix or Linux context.
Are you looking at a Microsoft partition of some sort using unix or Linux?

Please post the exact output from these commands (some or all of which will error). The solidii and backslashes are important.

Quote:
cd /
pwd
ls -lad /N
ls -lad /N:
ls -ald /N\:
ls -ald /N/XX
ls -ald /N:/XX
ls -lad /N\:/XX
Please post the Operating System and version you are running and your preferred Shell.


Ps. The command you need is more likely to be "find" than "grep". Please post exactly what you typed and what happened.

NAME
yodlpost - Yodl post-processor SYNOPSIS
yodlpost [options] index yodlout [out] DESCRIPTION
The Yodl post processor is used to solve references into the converted text, and to split (where appropriate) the converted Yodl text in parts. Some conversions do not require post-processing, such as LaTeX, but most do. Therefore, in most cases a Yodl conversion consists of two phases: o First, yodl(1) is called, producing a raw output file and an associated index file; o Then, yodlpost(1) is called, converting these two files into a final document. Normally, yodl2...(1) scripts are used to perform complete Yodl conversions. OPTIONS
-x ext: extension of the out-s if different from out's extension itself. If omitted, and out has no extension, ypp (Yodl Post Processor) is used. SEE ALSO
