Be very careful with using this because if there are filesname with spaces, tabs or other non-printing characters, it might break again.

You might be better to use find instead:-
Code:
find . -name "*d*" -print

I'm sure that this isn't all you want to do, but spaces in filenames (or other things) can cause problems. What is the overall requirement?




Kind regards,
Robin

nautilus

nautilus(1)                                                        User Commands                                                       nautilus(1)

NAME

       nautilus - the GNOME File Manager

SYNOPSIS

       nautilus [--check] [--geometry=geometry] [--no-default-window] [--no-desktop] [--quit] [location] [gnome-std-options]

DESCRIPTION

       The GNOME File Manager is the primary graphical interface to the file system. It provides access to, and manipulation of, files and folders
       on both local and remote filesystems by giving a virtual view of them. The File Manager supports multiple view types to allow you  to  view
       files  and  folders  as  an arrangement of icons, as a detailed list, or as a number of data-specific views which allow embedded viewing of
       text, images and other multi-media.

       Nautilus provides the desktop backdrop and its associated icons for launching applications, access to folders,  the  trash  and  removeable
       media  (such  as CD-ROMs and zip disks).  The trash container is a special view of objects that have been removed from their original loca-
       tions but not yet permanently deleted from the system. Emptying the trash will delete these objects permanently.

       The side pane of the main window provides additional information about the folder in the current view as well as allowing the user  to  add
       any  arbitrary notes; for example, to describe the folder or its contents. A tree view of the filesystem is also available on the side bar,
       which can be used to switch between the location of the main view and a history view to show the recently viewed locations.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       ---check        Perform a quick set of self-check tests.

       ---geometry=geomCreate inital window with given geometry, where geometry is in the following format: widthxheight.

       ---no-default-wiOnly create windows for explicitly specified locations.

       ---no-desktop   Do not manage the desktop backdrop.

       ---quit         Quit a currently running Nautilus application.

       gnome-std-optionStandard options available for use with most GNOME applications.  See gnome-std-options(5) for more information.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       location        The location to be viewed.  This location may be specified as a filesystem directory (for example,  /home/guest/Documents),
                       or by using any of the URI schemes supported by Nautilus (for example, http://www.sun.com or ftp://ftp.gnome.org).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Launching Nautilus to view a specific location

       example% nautilus /home/guest/Images

       Example 2: Opening a Nautilus window with a specified width and height and without managing the desktop background

       example% nautilus --geometry=450x300 --no-desktop

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Application exited successfully

       >0       Application exited with failure

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       /usr/bin/nautilus       The command-line executable for the GNOME file manager.

       ~/.nautilus/*           The location of user-specific meta-data, including notes, emblems, and background patterns.
