“find” Newer Files & Sort By Date

By admin on April 13, 2021 in Linux

Sort “find” results by date:

find . -type f -printf "%T@\t%Tc %6k KiB %p\n" | sort -n | cut -f 2-

1	find . -type f -printf "%T@\t%Tc %6k KiB %p\n" \| sort -n \| cut -f 2-

Find files newer then a specific file:

find . -type f -newer somefile.txt

1	find . -type f -newer somefile.txt

And combined:

find . -type f -newer somefile.txt -printf "%T@\t%Tc %6k KiB %p\n" | sort -n | cut -f 2-

1	find . -type f -newer somefile.txt -printf "%T@\t%Tc %6k KiB %p\n" \| sort -n \| cut -f 2-
