My OS is SunOS mymac1 5.10 Generic_148888-04 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220
When i cd /var/output
ls -ltr *.css
It yields the output in less than a second. While
Code:
find /var/output -type f -name "*.css"
does not complete for a while.
and
Code:
find /var/output -type f *.css
find: bad option current_017.css
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list
Can you please let me know what is incorrect and also how can i add the date to the current find command so that it lists only those .css files that match that date [yyyy-mm-dd]
Thank you !!

The find command will be searching down every directory under /var/output for matching files. This can be a good thing if that's really what you want.
Have a read of the man page for find The command you have entered second has two problems. Firstly it does not say that *.css is going to be a file name and secondly, the shell will expand this before actually executing the find
If you have a file current_017.css then this will be used in the find command.
I would suggest you use:-
Code:
find /var/output -type f -name "*.css"
as you have listed, if this is really what you want.
For matching on a date, then you have a number of options all listed on the amnual pages, such as -newer & -mtime and you might need to be a little creative to get the listing you want.
If you can create to files, you can search between their timestamps:-
Touch two files one with the date you're looking for and the other dated the next day:
i.e. January 09, 2014
touch -t "20140109000" /tmp/file1
touch -t "20140110000" /tmp/file2
Then fun the find command:
find . -name '*.css' -type f -newer /tmp/file1 ! -newer /tmp/file2 -ls
