[SOLVED] excluding directories from find command

[parminides]

I keep the file systems on my desktop and laptop synchronized with each other using rsync. I am constantly concerned about accidentally overwriting files. I've been using Places -> Search for Files... to keep track of new files on the two computers, but I seek a command line solution.

I've been trying to use an appropriate "find" command. I've discovered

find ~/000files ~/Music ~/Pictures ~/Videos -mtime 0 | xargs /bin/ls -oht | more

(I need the ls command so that I can view the files in reverse chronological order to compare with the other computer.)

This method works ok, but it has an annoying glitch. If a regular file was modified in the last day, it's host directory also shows up as a new file. That wouldn't be a big deal except that the ls command lists all that directory's contents as well, not just the new files.

My preferred solution would be to tell find to ignore *all* directories. My next favorite solution would be to tell ls to ignore all directories. I tried

ls -p | grep -v "\/"

which I saw at another site. It didn't work. It also didn't work with the -F flag.

Is there a way to force "find" to ignore all directories upon output?

add this to find:

-type f

Wow, that easy! Exactly what I wanted. Obviously I'm not proficient with find. Thank you so much.
