find not recursive when file at top
I'm having some confusion with the find command.
If I type:
find . -name *.xml
or
find ./ -name *.xml
I receive a list of all the xml files in subdirectories of the current directory, UNLESS the current directory contains an xml file, in which case I get:
find: paths must precede expression: foo.xml
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
What is the correct way to search for files with wildcard when the current directory may contain a match?
