Without quotes the shell expands *.c to the matching files in the current directory and find finds only those files whose names match the expanded filename. Janis

Thanks a bunch, Stéphane! I used gzip instead and it works too. Then I used this to list the included files: gzip -dc 091217.tar.gz |strings |grep "^\..*c$" There's probably a better way.

You can use find, and have it select the '.c' files and exclude files with "chart" find . -iname '*.c' -not -iname '*chart*' |
