[QUOTE="bdmsb, post: 620033, member: 51499"] I'm no expert with Terminal, but I typed "find . -type f *.vcf" into it and got the reply "find: *.vcf: unknown expression primary". Anyway, I'm really not so keen on using Unix commands to find files. I just want an OS X "FIND" command that finds what I ask for. What's the logic behind excluding some results? [/QUOTE]
