Regards,
ramanadyv

Plz type "man find" ASAP and look in the documentation for the option name that starts with 'max', ends with 'th' and expects a 'level' as parameter.

It doesn't work that way---around here, we respond when we jolly well get around to it.....

find has a format which includes the pathname.
Anytime you use a pathname, "." means current directory

If it's just the current dir, I'd be tempted to use ls & pipe through grep ...
