Sorry "vercsab" but the script just posted does not work because ${path} does not receive the filename from the find. The superfluous "-exec" parameters wreck the function of the script.
When dealing with unknown filenames in a script, always put them in double quotes.
(No comment about using complex relative paths because I guess that this was a quick test not a production script).
Hint: Using ${path} to contain a filename not a path obfuscates your code.
Code:
# Create an empty file
> testPaths.log
echo -n "Searching"
find ./../../../40_Implementation_test -type f -name Makefile -print | while read path
do
echo -n "."
echo "${path}" >> testPaths.log
done
echo ""
Footnote: I really think you need to read-up about pipelines. The "pipe" character "|" is not a sequential command separator in unix shell scripting (but the semi-colon character ";" is). The pipe characer "|" signifies that the output to STDOUT from the first command is to be fed directly into the input STDIN in the second command.
