Is it a bugs for find command? :(
Hi!

When i am trying to use find command to seacrh files in current directory, it help me to search for it sub-directory also.

Is there anyway to avoid it?

I am using unix operating system.

My friend told me that only linux did handle this, is it true?

What variant of unix ?? (hp, sco, solaris, etc)
Linux supports -maxdepth so

find . -maxdepth 1

will show all of the files in the current directory. check the man page on find
to see what it supports

(To get the manual page type:

man find

from the command prompt)

finding files in current dir
you also could find files in current dir withouth even useing find. you can use a command like (ls -la |grep partoffile). and you have a all files where partoffile in stands. (you also have all dirs but you do nto look inside sub dirs).

Hammer & Screwdriver find
you can use the find command search while avoiding
the sub-directory by using -xdev switch

the syntax will be

find . -name (file searching for) -xdev

See this post for my answer. And be sure that you're reading that particular post. My first attempt earlier in the thread was a fumble. Smilie
