Yes, I forgot to say "recursively". I have an ocaml implementation but it's prone to errors because of missing "canonicalization", so I did not want to translate that in haskell for the same problem. Currently I workarounded this all by forking "find", but it's prone to errors too because I have no way to distinguish between newlines ending a file name and newlines in the middle of a file name. I should put something like "///" with "find -printf" at the end of each file name, and then parse that, but it would really be preferable to code an haskell library function equivalent to unix find.
If your "find" supports it (GNU find does, I don't know about others), you can use "find -print0" to NUL-terminate file names. Carl Witty
