Example something like this:
Code:
find . \( -name '*(MON)*'  -o -name '*(TUE)*' \) -type f

Thanks kshji, seems to be quite a good suggestion. If I group together all the search patterns having common purge period, I am left with only 13 find commandsSmilie. If the find command with multiple search patterns also run for approximately 22-25 mins, your logic would drastically reduce the execution time. Let me try it and post a reply.

One quick question, may I precede using "-type f" before "-name"Smilie
