The command I am trying to run is : find . -xdev -exec 'grep -l -F "string" {}'; This command works fine on another flavour of unix but under Cygwin it gives me the error : find: missing argument to `-exec' I've tried simplifying the command in various ways to try and see what's going wrong (including find . -exec 'ls'; and others) but they all give the same missing argument error. I'd be grateful if anyone can see what I'm doing wrong, Thanks, Mike Davies Mike Davies -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
