old files compare date

Comment:

Hi, the below command searches for files older than today in a directory and also subdirectories. I want to restrict the search to the current directory only. Any ideas? Thanks find /path/to/search -type f -mtime +1.

Hi: If your version of find has the prune option try this: find /searchdir \( -type d ! -name . -prune \) -o \( -type f -print \) | awk ' gsub("^./","") ' GNU find has a maxdepth option, that works like this: find /searchdir -type f -maxdepth 1 -print | awk ' gsub("^./","") ' Regards, Nails
