Does *0546 work? *10546? etc. Additionally, I'd say use the default print instead of the -exec rm. Because once you find it, you might want to do other tests (doing a file on it to find type, finding the size, possibly catting it...) to figure out what it is and possibly how it came to get there, before ultimate removal. When you find a boundary where it goes from working to not-working, what happens if you stick a wildcard in that boundary? Assuming *0546 doesn't work, for instance, thus creating a boundary between the 0 and the 5, what about *0*546 or *0?546? ... Just things I'd be trying were I to see such a thing here. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
