methyl,

padow code works perfectly in my case.

If i use "find /home/arch -mtime 1" i am getting the file created today(May20th) and if i use "find /home/arch -mtime 0" i do not get any results.

But if we see the syntax of "find" command, if we use "-mtime 0" then it should give the files created today. I dont know why "0" is not working here.
