Re: mv files by date

[Curtis Vaughan <curtis@npc-usa.com>]

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?
