They can be entered into the "Containing text" field in the "Contents" tab of the KFind dialog. You can use the KRegExpEditor from the kdeutils package to create the expressions graphically. Documentation can be found at http://docs.kde.org/en/3.2/kdeutils/KRegExpEditor/ Alternatively try the find command using the -xdev switch to exclude searching on other filesystems or something like find / -name filetofind -path '/mnt/mysmbmount' -prune -o -print The -prune switch causes the whole directory tree being ignored rather than checked Steve. ___________________________________________________ .
