Find command question
Hi All,

I am trying to use the find command to search and delete files and have the following scenario. How come the file in the current directory is not getting listed out?

/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord --> ls -lt XSKU*

/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord --> find . -name 'XSKU*' -type f -atime 2
./jo/XSKU1923.DLD
/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord -->


Should I also get the result
./XSKU1923.DLD?

Actually, I only need to delete files in current directory, bypassing any files found under its subdirectories. Please advise.

Thanks!

Joseph

If I try to enter a 0 or a -n in the atime option, I then get the files from the currect directory.
test=/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord

/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord --> find $test -name 'XSKU*' -type f -atime 0
/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord/XSKU1910.DLD
/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord/XSKU1911.DLD
/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord/XSKU1912.DLD
/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord/XSKU1913.DLD
/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord/XSKU1914.DLD
/glo71sw/716/devl/userdata/ftpord/XSKU1915.DLD

Try this:
Code:
find $test -type f -name 'XSKU*' -maxdepth 1 -atime 2 | xargs ls -l
This will list all files starting with XSKU, accessed exactly 2 days ago, and in the current directory.

Cheers!

I think I know what happened.

I created the directory "jo" today and then copied all files to this new directory. This action must have updted the "access" time of the files to current (0). But when I changed the option to "mtime" I got all files.....

Is there a way to display the access time of the file?

Thanks!

the maxdepth options does not work for us.

I tried using the "-prune" options as previoulsly stated but I am getting an error that says invalid conjunction....I will try it again...
