    Post Stumbling programmer

    I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to concoct either a script or a command which would copy some files that I am able to "find" by using

    "find -name '*.ext' -ctime n"

    Can anyone contribute some code/coding?

    Muchly appreciate any help.

    This copies files whose status was changed in last 3 days to /home/user:

    Code:
    find -ctime -3 -iname '*.ext' -exec cp {} /home/user \;
    Regards

    It does so.

    Thank you so VERY much.

    I REALLY hope to get a handle on this sometime soon.

    Thanks again
