Sun 19 May 2024 12:28:15 PM UTC, comment #1: You can just use -exec for cases where %p is sufficient: -exec sh -c 'blabla $1 dflkjh $2 xxxxx; shift 2; bloop $@" For other cases I'm not convinced that the additional complexity is worthwhile. Mail bug-findutils if you would like to make your case in more detail.	James Youngman <jay>
Sun 13 Oct 2013 05:15:17 PM UTC, original submission: A possibility, to pass arguments like -printf to -exec would be very nice. Example: find / -mount -size +100M -execf istat /dev/md0 %i	Ingo Lindholm <ingolindholm>
