Hi Not a debian question, moreso a generic Unix question.. I need to be able to use find and egrep to scan a directory which has more than 3000 files in it. I read in the manual ie "man egrep" that the lines are limited to 2048 bytes. The error i get is "/usr/bin/find: 0403-027 The parameter list is too long." Is there any way i can work around this? Thanx
