Hello,
I have been using Emacs for quite some time and each time I need to find
where, in a directory tree, are located some file(s) I have to go back to
MS Explorer, which is a pain if I want to edit the file(s). I now know
that the function to do that is "find-name-dired", but I can't figure out
how to use it. The documentation says:
find-name-dired is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `find-dired'.
(find-name-dired DIR PATTERN)
Search DIR recursively for files matching the globbing pattern PATTERN,
and run dired on those files.
PATTERN is a shell wildcard (not an Emacs regexp) and need not be quoted.
The command run (after changing into DIR) is
find . -name 'PATTERN' -ls
and if I look-up the documentation for "find" it says:
find is an autoloaded Lisp function in `cl-seq'.
[Arg list not available until function definition is loaded.]
not documented
All this may be very meaningful for old time Emacs-ers and / or Unix-ers but I can't figure out how to specify "PATTERN". Specifying the
directory is no problem but stuff like "*.ps", for example, doesn't work for PATTERN. I allways get the following error message:
c:/latex/:
find . \( -name '*.ps' \) -exec ls -ld {} \;
Fichier introuvable - '*.ps'
find exited abnormally with code 2 at Thu Nov 14 09:44:00
But there is files ending in ".ps" in that directory.
A few examples would be highly appreciated, thanks,

It sounds like Emacs is finding the M$ find.exe in its search path.
On a Linux system...
M-x find-name-dired <Ret> ~/ <Ret> phone <Ret>
I think you need a unix/Linux version of 'find' that runs on M$. This
version should be found first in the Emacs 'exec-path'.

In response to some recent posts on Unicode text processing and diacritics
display for online publishing, I have written a short technical note that
covers Sanskrit unicode processing using the utf-skt package. The description
lists requirements and gives a step by step procedure for getting your Emacs
and LaTex configured for Sanskrit Unicode typesetting and online publishing.
