See, those files had spaces in their names, which causes unix to gag unless you know how to deal with them. Our heroine didn’t.
Tomorrow, you can tell your heroine that there's no need to
find /path | grep foo
when she can
find /path -exec grep foo {} \;
:) This is as someone who DOES use windows search when it's easier. (or microsoft excel instead of "cut" and "paste")
There's also a difference between agnostic and religious but respectful and willing to come along for a ride every now and then. I think I'm the latter......I use Windows mostly for logging into unix boxes to do work. It's handy to have both so I can use the best tool for the job.
