>What were you trying to do?

> clean out my homedir, but that's not important right now. I was
> trying to do it via a shell script (~yandros/bin/cleanhome) that

> Here's the particular invocation:
>
> find . \( -name '.*~' -o -name '*~' -o -name '#*' -o -name '.#*' -o -name >'core' -o -name '.xvpics' \) -ok rm {} \;
>
> The output I got was:
>
> < rm ... >? n
> < rm ... >? ^C
>
> Note the lack of the filename from the `{}'s.
>
> Here's a simpler example:
>
> ; find . -name core -ok echo \{\} \;
> < echo ... >? ^C
>
>What should have happened?
>
> ; gfind . -name core -ok echo {} \;
> < echo ... ./core > ? ^C
