Ok.. Maybe too much xmas glee... Sample files 1.2.3.4_foo.dat 11.2.3.4_foo.dat 1.22.33.4_foo.dat etc..... the fillenames follow the ipAddress format.. Trying to craft a simple find with regex/pattern to find the files. find / -name "*[0-9]{3}*" << doesn't work thoughts/comments thanks _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
