Hi,
I need to recursively find alll files generated as of today. I was able to use find and ls -l to do that but the problem i am facing is there are around 48000 subdirectories it needs to search in.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
It is part of a script but essentially i was planning to use
ls -l `find ./ -name '*.jpg'` |grep 'Oct 28'. This is getting me the required output but if i try with all the sub directories then it gives error too many parameters

Try...

Code:

touch `date '+%Y%m%d0000'` /tmp/flagfile
find . -type f -newer /tmp/flagfile -print|xargs ls -l

Hi,
Seems to be working ok with the last command you gave.
Thanks for the help. I am not sure if my customer will be happy with the time it took though.
