Code to list the files of find command
hi,

i want to list the files from the below find commands output.
Code:
find ./* -name "*.txt" -type f -mtime +10

will give the output like
Code:
./a.txt

but i need the output in the format like (ls -lrt a.txt )
Code:
-rw-rw-rw-   1 srea      nast          5 May 23 07:34 a.txt

i used xargs for the above,
Code:
find ./* -name "*.txt" -type f -mtime +10 | xargs ls -lrt

but the above command is listing all the files irrespective of the conditions given in the find command.

can anyone help on this.

Code:
find ./ -name \*.txt -exec ls -lrt {} \;

Will work with one caveat, the reverse sorted by time will not aply as the command is called on each found file individually.

To get around this you could use an expansion (provided you didn't exceed the maximum number of parameters for your shell) eg.
Code:
ls -lrt $(find ./ -name \*.txt)
