zsh can be a shoein replacement for bash, and its globbing facilities makes 'find' almost obsolete for me. For example: find . -name "*.css" is: ls -d **/*.css in zsh. Other examples, all derived from the article: find . -type f -name "*.css" ==> ls **/*.css(.) find . -name "*.css" -exec grep -l "#content" {} \; ==> grep -l "#content" **/*.css find . -ctime -1 -type f ==> ls **/*(.c-1) find . \! -path "*CVS*" -type f -name "*.css" ==> ls **/*.css(.e{'echo $REPLY | grep -v "CVS"'}) More can be found in the "Glob Qualifiers" section of the zshexpn(1) man page.
