How to: Find files edited in the last day
The process is straight forwarded. There are several methods:
find . -mtime -1 \! -type d -exec ls -l {} \;
Or more simply
find . -type f -mtime -1
In my case, I wanted to do more. First since I was searching an SVN repository, I wasted to exclude all of the extra files that are touched by SVN. Additionally, the goal was to show which files contained a print_r function.
Here's what I came up with:
find . -path '*/.svn/*' -prune -o -type f -mtime -1 \
-exec echo '{}' \; -exec grep print_r {} \;
Hope that helps!
