lstat problem

Hello,
I have a little problem with lstat.
I use the find utility, to find a path for a file in my system.
After that,I take that path and I pass it in lstat, but lstat returns -1, and this error : no such file or directory.
So I m trying to "ls" the path in the shell, but it also fails.

Find returns me for example this: "./.local/share/Trash/files/myfile (4th copy).c"
I remove the dot from the begining,and then i pass this path in lstat but it doesnt work. Maybe the other dots inside the path cause the problem..? Any ideas?
thanx in advance Smilie
