>Because "&&" is a shell construct and you're giving it to test as an argument.
I realize that && is a shell construct. As I mentioned in the original post, if I key in :
test -e ../two/./x.java && diff ./x.java ../two/./x.java
at a command prompt, everything works as expected. The shell separates the test from the diff and only executes the diff if the test is true.
My question is why when find submits the same string to the shell that it comes out with an error.
Maybe you explained it and I just don't get it.
What is the difference between me keying it into a command line and find submitting the same thing to a shell?
