This is incorrect. If you terminate exec with '+' instead of '\;',
only a single
instance of the command is run - the command line is built by appending
each found file to the end of the {} placeholder.
Sorry, I'm ashamed
I didn't know about this feature. Does it also handle spaces correctly?
I'm not sure how the internals work. As best as I can guess, it
constructs the argv directly so spaces shouldn't be an issue. Spaces are
an issue when the output is piped through, since the pipe itself knows
no difference between filename and output spaces, hence the need to
force zero delimiters between filenames. Since find runs the command
directly, you shouldn't encounter this. But Ive yet to test.
Your assumption is correct. exec cannot be fooled with whitespaces.

If there are no spaces in the filenames/directories, you can drop the
quotes from $().
Sorry, it doesn't work with spaces even with the quotes; if you don't
have spaces in the directories/filenames, do
ls -l --sort=time $(find /path -iname *.pdf)
If you have spaces, you need to set/restore IFS:

Hm, I've tried:
ls -l --sort=time $(find /home/joseph -iname *.jpg)
got:
ls: invalid option -- '/'
The exact same command (changing joseph with canek) works for me,
except in directories/filenames with spaces, as expected. Do you have
an alias for ls? What does find /home/joseph -iname *.jpg returns?

Hi,

Hi,
This one should work:
find /home/joseph/ -iname *.pdf -exec ls -l --sort=time {} +
Regards,

This won't work if there are too many files because find will eventually
start ls multiple times.
Try this instead:
find /path -iname '*.pdf' -printf '%T@\t%Tc\t%p\n' | sort -nr |
cut -f 2-

They both work thank you!
But Florian solution seems to work better eg.
Solution 1:
find /home/joseph/ -iname *.jpg -exec ls -l --sort=time {} + |more

You'd prefer
find /home/joseph/ -iname *.pdf |xargs ls -l --sort=time
or, to be space-proof
find /home/joseph/ -iname *.pdf -print0 |xargs -0 ls -l --sort=time
A little late but HTH.

Perhaps not the most elegant solution.
ls -lt `du -a|grep -i '\.pdf$'|awk '{ print $2 }'`|awk '{ print
