-rw-r-----   1 notes01  notes             0 Mar  9 14:53 toto

i want to have :

Code:
-rw-r-----   1 notes01  notes             0 Mar  9 14:53 test
-rw-r-----   1 notes01  notes             0 Mar  9 14:53 test 2
-rw-r-----   1 notes01  notes             0 Mar  9 14:53 toto


so i test to use with find command the prune and mtime flag :

Code:
find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \) -o \( -type f -mtime +10 -print \) -exec ls -al {} \;|grep -v '\./'|grep -v '\.'

it succeed if there is no mtime but with this flag the result is bad.

Can you help me please ?

Thanks
Christain

If Perl is acceptable:

Code:
perl -le'
print join $/, grep { 
  -f and -M > 10 and !/\./ 
  } glob "*"'


Otherwise:

Code:
find . ! -name . -prune -type f -mtime +10 |
  grep './[^.]*$'

With zsh:

Code:
print -l -- ^*.*(.m+10)

Thanks

Code:
find . ! -name . -prune -type f -mtime +10 | grep './[^.]*$'

works fine !

Can you tell me the use of "!" in find . ! -name . ?

and why replacing find . by th real path it doesn't work

Code:
find /users/notes01 ! -name . -prune -type f -mtime +10 | grep './[^.]*$'

regards

! tests for falseness:

! expr True if expr is false.

Try with:

Code:
find /users/notes01/. ! -name ...

Basically, we're pruning (not descending) all directories not named . (a dot).

Hi

thanks for your help and explanations.

the last statement is quite ok :
Code:
<clazz023-notes01>/users/notes01 # find /users/notes01/. ! -name . -prune -type f -mtime +10| grep './[^.]*$'
/users/notes01/./crontab-fevrier-2010
/users/notes01/./crontab-mars-2010

i can use "cd /users/notes01

then

Code:
find . ! -name . -prune -type f -mtime +10| grep './[^.]*$'

regards
Christian
