Unhappy "Arguments too long"

Hi everyone,

I know this sounds stupid but on my Sun solaris machine I have csh script that finds all files 7 days older and then moves it to another area. The find works but the move I get "Arguments too long". I know that in c shell can not handel more 1706 arguments.

Quote:
find /iwp/itrexs/swift_in/processed/MTWPEXT* -mtime +7 -print
mv `find /iwp/itrexs/swift_in/processed/MTWPEXT* -mtime +7 -print` $dump
Can anyone give is tips on fixing this problem....I thought of ksh but I don't know how to do it

Pete
