From: sab AT seanet DOT com (Scott Blachowicz) Subject: running gnu-win32 tools under another Unix-ported shell? 8 Jan 1998 14:44:40 -0800 Message-ID: Reply-To: sab AT seanet DOT com To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hi- I'm sometimes using a port of zsh (not the one built with the cygwin toolkit) and when I run the cygwin 'find' command, for instance, it acts as if the 'find' command (in its crt0 or whatever?) is expanding globs that it gets. I don't want that to happen because my shell is already doing that. So, if I do this: find . -name '*.cpp' -perm +222 -ls to find writeable .cpp files, I get this error: /usr/bin/find.EXE: paths must precede expression Usage: /usr/bin/find.EXE [path...] [expression] How do the cygwin commands detect their parent & avoid the globbing stuff when necessary if using the normal cygwin bash, for instance? Any suggestions? -- Scott Blachowicz - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
