#142 find: missing argument to `-exec'

[Marek Januszewski]

I'm trying to run:
find winnt -type f -exec echo {} \;
and it gives me
find: missing argument to `-exec'
on linux this works fine
is there another escape char to use?
thanks

find winnt -type f -exec echo {} ;
is the correct command in the MS-Windows command shell
(command.com or cmd.exe), since ; is not a special symbol.
However, you then get another error message:
"cannot fork: Function not implemented"
See
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html#subprocesses
for an explanation.

this is not fixed on win2k

C:>c:\unix\bin\find winnt -type f -exec echo {};

Does quoting {}; with double quotes (") work?
