James, If I want to find a file all I do is find [path] -name [filename]
ie if I want to find an ogg file all I do is
find /image -name *.ogg
This will list all files with ogg files.
Hi all,
I just tried to use the 'find' command to locate for me all files on a filesystem that were modified on a given date. I have just discovered that this is a moderately difficult problem. 'man find' tells me that there are atime, ctime and mtime options but they only let me specify time relative to today in hours. I can see that I potentially could construct a find query with these tools and judicious use of -a and '!', but that can't be the simplest way.
I also checked the gnome find tool thing fearing that I had just become incapable of reading manpages but discovered to my shock that it can't do it either.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks,
James.
