Hi all,
Here is the problem: I am looking for a file "untitled.m" using "find"
command:
If I type:
>>find . -name untitled.m
it gives the correct result:
>>./aaa/bbb/ccc/untitled.m
but if I type:
>> find . -name *untitled*
it gives the wrong result:
>> find: No match
Anybody knows why? Thanks a lot,
-Gino
