problem with find -exec

["Davies, Mike" <MDavies at uk dot waukbearing dot com>]

Hi,

I'm using Cyywin on Win 98 SE and I have a problem with the find command.
The command I am trying to run is :

find . -xdev -exec 'grep -l -F "string" {}';  

This command works fine on another flavour of unix but under Cygwin it gives
me the error :  

find: missing argument to `-exec'


I've tried simplifying the command in various ways to try and see what's
going wrong (including find . -exec 'ls'; and others) but they all give the
same missing argument error.  

I'd be grateful if anyone can see what I'm doing wrong,

Thanks,

Mike Davies
