indication of find activity - bash script
Hi All,

I wanted to show on stdout that a file was found right after it happens due to indicate the activity of long search. Further more I want to store the result of the find in a file.

I have tried this:
Code:
echo -n "Searching"
find . -name Makefile -type f -print -exec echo -n "." \; > testPaths.log

Unfortunately dots are written to the file.
How could I separate output of -exec and result of find? or How could I indicate the find activity?
