I installed cmder shell emulator for Windows.
Works fine but I can't use Unix's find command. Apparently when I type:
'find .'
in the terminal it tries to use the Windows' FIND and output this error:
FIND: Parameter format not correct
I'd really like to use find, any hint on how to get it working?

Simplest solution is to create an alias to the
find
executable within thecmder
installation folder:May I suggest you also try out Cygwin where, among other things,
find
works out of the box. That is what I used to ascertain the location of thecmder
-suppliedfind.exe
.Kudos to @Bob and @AFH for their insightful comments, and to @Lưu Vĩnh Phúc for suggesting another dead-simple solution:
This might actually be preferrable over creating an alias, because
cmder
aliases don't work in Windows 10 unlessUse legacy console
is selected incmd
properties (see how to do it).
