find: missing argument to -exec

Question

I was helped out today with a command, but it doesn\'t seem to be working. This is the command:

find /home/me/download/ -type f -name \"*.rm\" -exec ffmpeg -         


        

Answer 1

Also, if anyone else has the "find: missing argument to -exec" this might help:

In some shells you don't need to do the escaping, i.e. you don't need the "\" in front of the ";".

find  -name "myFile.*" -exec rm - f {} ;
