find command not working
Hi all,

find command not working for me in a perticular directory.The same command is working fine in any other directory.

Following is the command i issued:

Code:
 
find . -type f -print

my question is , is it possbile to disable a command only for a perticular directory ??...of course it's sounds silly ...

Thnks in Advance
