need to help to find and copy to a file

pujars1 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-12-2007

I am trying to search for files and copy them into a text file. Can anybody help me how to do that.

find /test/sds/data -name "*.*" -mtime -365 -exec ls -altr {} \

this is my find command and want to copy the result to a file.

Porter,
You missed the '\;' after '{}':

Code:

find /test/sds/data -name "*.*" -mtime -365 -exec ls -altr {} \; >file
