find and ls

UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi,
I want to find the files by find command and then know their size and date. Then I did
find /u -name 'name' -print |xargs ls -l
but does not function. What is wrong ?
What do you sugest ?
Many thanks.

find ~/ -exec ls -l {} \;

hope could help you

"does not function" does not tell us much. What happens when you tried it?

4

find /u/username -print|xargs ls -l

will return all files in the home directory of the username, their size and date
the same as:

find ~/username -print|xargs ls -l

I don't know if this is what you need.

5

What would be wrong with just using the -ls option in find?

6

Maybe the OPs find does not support the '-ls' option. HP-UX find doesn't.

thanks to all.

use find -ls

| xargs -ls

won't work for filenames with spaces.
