Question

Is there a recursive find function for a find in emacs? I thought the ‘nix “find” was implemented in eshell but perhaps not (I’ve been using it on OS X but it must have been calling FreeBSD’s “find”)… I know of rgrep, find-grep, grep-find, in emacs, but I don’t actually need the grepping part. Perhaps it’s a feature in one of dired’s functions (though I didn’t find it)? Using windows and I miss some ‘nix utilities… thought emacs 23.2 might fill in for me.

Answer 1

dired-find? It depends on the external command find though. There might be a lisp implementation of find somewhere, but you might be better off just getting the windows port of the ‘nix utilities such as find. Try cygwin.
