Re: Two short scripts for Cygwin-Windows interoperation

Thanks for your comments. I'm sure you're right about the -path method being faster, but the resources are not significant for typical setups, and the grep method is immediately adaptable to more sophisticated processing of the list of filenames beyond simple pattern matching. Rex

Also, it's almost always faster to run 'find ... -path "*$1*"' than it is
to run 'find ... | grep "$1"'.
