[h-e-w] find-dired


From: reader
Subject: [h-e-w] find-dired
Date: Sun, 02 May 2004 00:05:51 -0500
User-agent: Gnus/5.110002 (No Gnus v0.2) Emacs/21.3 (windows-nt)

Setup: OS = Win XP pro
       Emacs = 21.3 (binary)

My attempts to run M-x find-dired fail with an invalid arguments 

    ~/:
    find . \( -name '*.txt' \) -exec ls -ld {} \;
    find: \): invalid argument
  
    find exited abnormally with code 1 at Sat May 01 23:55:20

Notice the `-exec ls -ld'.  Emacs inserts that part by default I
guess.

My command sequence is:
M-x find-dired <RET>
I'm queried for a directory and choose ~/
Queried for args and type in -name '*.txt'
Then press <RET>

I have the UWIN unix tools installed (David Korns ATT tools)
And have made sure the directory containing UWIN find is first in
path.

(getenv "path")

"C:\\UWIN\\usr\\bin;C:\\Perl\\bin\\;C:\\Vim\\vim\\vim62; [...]"

And from Dos cmd prompt

C:\>echo %PATH%
C:\UWIN\usr\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\Vim\vim\vim62;
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\
[...]

What needs to happen here to get `find-dired' to work?
