Shell Programming and Scripting

Of course.... I'm trying to be instructional.

hi Thanks for your help. But

Code:

find . -type f -printf "%T+ %p\n" this is not working in my unix 
find: bad option -printf
find: path-list predicate-list

this error is coming.

For finding time I tried this also

Code:

find . -type f --time

again --time is not supoorted by my unix.

yeah you need GNU's find. Ask your admin to install it

Hi both,

thanks a lot for your help. I am very near to solve my problem but as sugessted by you i am trying to use this -

Code:

find . -type f -printf "%T+ %p\n"

but my unix says -printf is unknown i tried same with -print then it says %T %p are bad options.

Also i tried to use while loop with time and path but it is not fetching time & path into it.

I am using ksh. Please let me know if you required some more info about mu unix.

Thanks.

In my solution, you need to use GNU's find. You can replace it, however, with a perl script:

Code:

find . -type f -print | perl -mPOSIX -ne 'chop;$t = (stat($_))[9]; 
  print POSIX::strftime("%F+%T ",localtime($t)).$_."\n"'

So it's just using the traditional find command (perl can do this, but it's uglier) to feed into perl, which for each filename (reading from stdin) gets the time's filestamp ($t) and prints it out in the same format as GNU's %T+, followed by a space and the filename and the newline.
