It always pays off to be as specific as possible ("how many oldest files do you need?") and to post OS and find versions so you dont't get advice that doesn't work on your system. Try
if your find provides the printf action.

I'm trying to write a script that will look in an /exports folder for the oldest export file and move it to a /staging folder. "Oldest" in this case is actually determined by date information embedded in the file names themselves.
Also, the script should only move a file from /exports to... (6 Replies)

I need a script to clean up the files on our backup system. I was hoping this would be simple for someone to put together for me.
I'm sure I could do it, but I'm a bash n00b so it would definitely not be efficiently or within a reasonable amount of time. :(

pod::abstract::filter::find
Pod::Abstract::Filter::find(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Pod::Abstract::Filter::find(3pm)NAME
Pod::Abstract::Filter::find - paf command to find specific nodes that contain a string.
DESCRIPTION
The intention of this filter is to allow a reduction of large Pod documents to find a specific function or method. You call "paf find
-f=function YourModule", and you get a small subset of nodes matching "function".
For this to work, there has to be some assumptions about Pod structure. I am presuming that find is not useful if it returns anything
higher than a head2, so as long as your module wraps function doco in a head2, head3, head4 or list item, we're fine. If you use head1 then
it won't be useful.
In order to be useful as an end user tool, head1 nodes (...) are added between the found nodes. This stops perldoc from dying with no
documentation. These can be easily stripped using: "$pa->select('/head1')", then hoist and detach, or reparent to other Node types.
A good example of this working as intended is:
paf find select Pod::Abstract::Node
