help with chmod (files only)

Shell Programming and Scripting

hello,

i want to chmod 444 all files in a directory, files in subdirs cannot be chmoded same goes for the subdirs themself.

So using:

chmod -R 444 /dir/

won't work because it will chmod the directorys and files (together with files in subdirectorys)

I figured out how to chmod files only, but it still will chmod files in subdirectorys.

find /dir/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 444

How can I do it?

Hope this helps.

find /dir -type f -maxdepth 1 -exec chmod 444 {} \;
