Hi Heinz,

Thank you for your reply.
My problem is using symlinks in Linux and trying to do the recursive
search through them.
More details:

My folder contains 4 symlinks and I'm doing the search in the "base"
folder.
test/symlink-1 -> data/dir1
test/symlink-2 -> data/dir2
test/symlink-3 -> data/dir3
test/symlink-4 -> data/dir4

I do, file_search('test','*') and the result is nothing. data/dir1
contains 10 files, data/dir2 contains 10 files more, etc.
If I do file_search('test/symlink-1') the result is correct but the
recursive search does not work if I use the test directory. That's
what I'm trying to do...

Thanks for your help,
nata
