finding files exactly 7 days old

[fernfrancis]

hi
i am a newbie in linux ,i am writing a bash script to identify the files which are exactly 7 days ( a week old)
i tried this command
find /var/backup -mtime +7 -exec ls -d {} \;
but this gives me even the files which are older than 7 days

find . -mtime +7 -exec ls -d {} \;
./access.log.1.gz
./access.log.2.gz
./access.log.2.gz19Apr10
./access.log.3.gz
./access.log.3.gz19Apr10
./access.log.4.gz



i want only the file which is 7 days old

Try this:

find . -mtime +6 -mtime -8 -exec ls -d {} \;

hey
dont put a + before 7,
that means you're finding files MORE than seven days.
check the find command man page
