Sorry, I was not clear, I did not mean it was "random". I meant that 'ls "foo "' complained the directory was not found if the space was included, while "find" did happily accept "foo", "foo ", "foo " as argument meaning the same thing, still including the extra spaces in the output. This is shown in the examples I included. So there are some problem with "space at the end of directory/file part" going on effecting different commands differently, kent -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
