Your syntax is incorrect. Try:

	find . -name "1000*"

I just tried in in /tmp on my cygwin installation and here's the output:

	$ find . -name 1000* -o -name 1000.*
	./1000
	./1000/1000.zip
	./1000.tar.gz

You can limit the find to just files or directories with the -type flag.
Do 'info find' to learn more. The way you had the expression written
each conditional was joined with an implicit -a (and) so that find would
only print if all three evaluated to true. You wanted a -o (or) between
each pattern but really you can accomplish what you want with a quoted
pattern, which IMHO is a more straight-forward way to look for what you
want.

Subject: Problems with find


Hi folks,

I trie to search file with find an didn't find all the file which should
be found

I search for all file starting with 1000 an the file 1000.zip in the
diretory 1000 is not found $ find . -name 1000\* ./1000.zip ./1000

but when I ls the directory 1000 the file is listed
$ ls 1000
1000.zip

As you can see I use the find installed in /usr/bin
$ which find
/usr/bin/find
$ type find
find is hashed (/usr/bin/find)


what is wrong? Is it a bug or my fault?

Thanks for any help and hint

Franz
