Assuming very long output of find, grepping over it is not efficient. Besides, the file you search might be quite early found and one can interrupt the search, while with your approach one has to wait until both find and finish.

Actually I don't know how shell pipes work here. Is the output of find piped to grep only when find finishes or as soon as there is some output?

If you stop it with ctrl-C, both find and grep get interrupted and stop, right? -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir(a)jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir(a)cohens.org.il | | best tzafrir(a)debian.org | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
