Solve : No warnings from "find"?

Answer»

Hello,

Does anyone knows how to prevent the "find" command from outputing warnings?

As it searches, it lists things like
: permission denied
: permission denied
: input/output error

So when I go back to look at it I can easily miss what it has found because it is lost in the middle of a long LIST of warnings.

I would like it to output only the result, or nothing if it hasn't found what I was looking for.

Thank you for any ideas.

ASSUME I know nothing about Linux, but if it works like Windows, you can try:
Code: [Select]
find "ARG" filename > con 2> nul


There are REALLY two output streams from any command, STDOUT and STDERROR. Just a matter of directing the output.

Good luck. find whatever 2> /dev/null
