How can I use a find with -exec in a .spec file? It appears that the {} is being put in quotes and not doing what I'd expect. Is there a way for me to prevent the quoting and make this work? Thanks, Dave

Nevermiind. This was a stupid mistake on my part. I had a logical error. I was doing "find -name "a*" -or -name "b*" -exec cmd {} ; and forgot that the I needed to enclose the -or in ( ) so that the -exec would happen on all conditions. Sorry for the noise, Dave

If I may suggest? Next time, use two find commands for legibility.

Thanks for the tip. I changed it to the following to simplify things: find -name "a*" -or -name "b*" | xargs cmd
