Aaaah! thanks for clarifying that Preston. =)

Mmm.. .I have tried it in the GUI and that works fine. But to better explain 
what I want to do. I work with TV-productions and in our file based workflows 
when we move an TV-episode from one suite to another suite we use something 
called EDL's. It's a text file with the names of the clips used in the edit. 
There are no paths or so in that file. So my hope was to parse that file so 
what's left is the filenames only. Then use something like "recover -a -I 
od.ep01.txt" to search the database and retrieve the files I need. But seems 
like "recover" needs the whole paths to what I want to recover? 

And can't find any "search" command in the Unix Command Reference either. If 
there had been one I could maybe have fed that with the text file with my files 
and then store the results of the search in another file and use that as a 
source of the recover. Does it sound confusing? =)
