Full Discussion: find command
Operating Systems Linux Fedora find command Post 302454225 by methyl on Friday 17th of September 2010 11:47:52 AM

I can't think of an uncomplicated method when we don't seem to have the "stat" command in MACOS to find out the precise timestamp of a file.
Other correspondents may have a method.

Here are the seeds of an idea using the "-ot" and "-nt" shell operators.
The script deduces that a file has the same timestamp as a reference file.
For test purposes we first create two files with the same timestamp.

Code:
REFERENCE="my_reference_file"
touch "${REFERENCE}"
touch -f "${REFERENCE}" "my_test_file"
#
find . -type f -print | while read FILENAME
do
if [ ! "${FILENAME}" -ot "${REFERENCE}" -a ! "${FILENAME}" -nt "${REFERENCE}" ]
then
        echo "${FILENAME}"
fi
done
