alloutmacstoday Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Use an NSTask to run the command. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122437-find-command/#findComment-866455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks omol, works great. aomt, its not an ObjC app so I don't think NSTask applies, but thanks for your input Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122437-find-command/#findComment-866641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 I know how to use UNIX man pages thanks Its just that the man page for find (I've already read it) isn't very clear, and many of the options are extremely similar to one another.
