find cannot be redirected to specific stdout ?

I tried to redirect the find command to a file (using find ..... > asdf ) and the file asdf is always empty . The results keep appearing on the screen.

Is there another way to do this ?

hmm . i just figured out that the file is empty only when in fact all results of the find command give a permission denied output . the file has results in any other case -

case closed .

Just an FYI:

"> asdf", or "1>asdf" redirects find's stdout (normal processing messages). "2>asdf" would redirect find's stderr (error messages). If you'd like BOTH to go to the same file,

find ... 1>asdf 2>&1
