output of find

[pavNell]

I use the find command in some of my scripts. For instance,
find /someDir -user $USER -type d -print
to list directories that belong to myself. For output, I get a lot of "permission Denied" error messages and then the list of directories that I want. How do I suppress the output of the error messages and just print what I want?
Thanks.

find /someDir -user $USER -type d -print 2> /dev/null

Thanks for the reply marsd,
now, to print the results into a file for future evaluation, I would add the "-printf filename" argument to my find command.

find /someDir -user $USER -type d -printf filename 2> /dev/null

Just what I was looking for, Thanks again!!

what's this 'printf' ??
prepend a '>' to 'filename'
do you really need the '-print' option??? vox clamantis in deserto.
