tried to optimize find..but it's way way longer than ls..
I doubt it!
Please post what Operating System and version you are running and what Shell you are using. There is much variation in the
ls command and as much variation in the
find command.
Please state what your criteria are for selecting files.
(Please avoid using textspeak or obscure abbreviations when posting. Ftm? ofc?).
