Shell Programming and Scripting

I want to find out the files that are older than a given file in the current
directory ...Can anyone help

2 
find . ! -newer ./yourfile -print

thanks buddy !! but it also prints the file itself ( yourfile)which acts as the input.....also it gives output as this
-------------
.
./a.txt
./b.txt
----------

can i avoid the "./ "

4

Try:

find . ! -newer aaa -print | sed -e 's_^./__'

where" __ " is double underscore.

5

Well that works fine !! is _(underscore) a substitute for "/" in sed command.
As sed has the following syntax sed -e 's/a/b'

Yes "" is delimiter here, I used it because "/" was in our search string also, so to avoid confusion it was "" there, you can use any character as delimiter, but you have to take care of it in your syntax later on.
