This isn’t as efficient as simply adding the -ls argument to find, as it then does an 'ls' for each file matched, but it does give you more control over the output. daystart -ctime 4 -type f` do ls -l $f done

To do it a different format you could do as in the following example, using ls to get the date and time of modification: for f in `find. The above lists the find output in `ls -dils` format. ctime can be in the past six months just as much as mtime (modification date) can, so ls -lac can display times (instead of years) just as much as ls -la can. It needs to be put at the end after the other arguments otherwise it’ll return more than just the files specified by the search criteria. ls -l displays date and time for dates that are in the past six months, and date and year for other dates. īy adding the '-ls flag' find will also show the filesizes etc as shown in the example output below. The example below shows the output of the current working directory which contains some Linux ISO images and their md5sum files: $ find. The find command simply outputs the list of the filenames, with absolute paths.

To find all the files that were modified two days ago, you would do this: find.

Unix ls find files by date modified
