Never mind, I just used enclosed that in quotes and I'm getting everything.
For clarity of others finding this thread, you need to prevent the shell expanding your command line before it executes.
Wrapping your search criteria in quotes will pass the value directly to the find command rather than match all files in the current directory and passing them into the find command.
If you have two files, /mydir/a.cbl and /mydir/source/b.cbl, the following will have the problem:-
This is because the shell expands the command to match the files in the current directory, so the actual find command executed will become:-
If you quote the search mask, you will get both files:-
You can get odd results if you also had a file a.cbl in a subdirectory as that would be matched with or without the quotes.
