Ok the following line finds all the files that I want to move out the folder:find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 -exec ls -al {} \; So, now it's the next part that scares me. Should I do this? find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 -exec ls -al {} \; | xargs mv ../ in order to move the files found in the script up one directory? Curtis
why not just do: find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 -exec mv {} ../dest/dir/ \; unless you have too many files and need to use xargs, then you could do: find ./ -type f ! -mtime -2 | xargs -I {} -t mv $1/{} ../dest/dir/
