- Subject: Strange problem with find and directories
Hello,
I'm using 32-bit Cygwin 1.7.18. The problem I'm seeing can
be replayed with this sequence of commands:
-- begin --
$ mkdir dir
$ ls -d dir
dir
$ find . -type d -name dir -print
./dir
$ find . -type d -name dir -exec rm -rf {} \;
find: './dir': Not a directory
-- end --
The same at either Windows-native drive (/cygwin/c/...)
or a Cygwin mount (such as /home/$USER).
BTW, dir is actually gone, but what was the fuss about?
Thanks,
Anton Lavrentiev
