Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Problem with find command when used with mtime Post 302156187 by gus2000 on Monday 7th of January 2008 03:23:31 PM

Hmmm, this seems to select the right files when I do it:

Code:
# find /tmp/ -name "*" -mtime +14 -exec ls -ldtr {} ; | wc -l
     120

# find /tmp/ -name "*" -mtime -14 -exec ls -ldtr {} ; | wc -l
      28

# find /tmp/ -name "*" -exec ls -ldtr {} ; | wc -l
     148

You might want to add "-type f" to limit the search to files only.
