using find command with -print option returns an error - unknown primary or operator error

Question

In my directory I have a bunch of folders in each folder I have one .jpeg file. I want to extract only file names of these .jpeg files. I am using:

find . -type f -print "%P\n"

but it returns an error: find: %P\n: unknown primary or operator.

I checked on the forum that they often use "printf" command instead of "print", so I tried using it as well, but it did not work:( I also tried to use single quotation '%P\n', brackets ("%P\n") - as manual suggests. But no results.

I would be very thankful if you could help me with that.

mashuptwice,

Your method works!

You could use find . -exec basename {} \; instead.
