the 'find' command as an alias

[rawlins02]

Trying to make a simple alias for this find command:

find -regex '.*/\..*' -prune -o -type f -mtime -1 -print

That command finds all files modified < 24 hours ago. I use tcsh. If I do:

alias findNew   'find -regex '.*/\..*' -prune -o -type f -mtime -1 -print'

I get:
alias: No match.

Lastly, If I want to replace the value '1' with an variable wildcard, do I use \!*

Thanks.
Mike

Is the problem that you are nesting single quotes? Try this:

alias findNew 'find -regex ".*/\..*" -prune -o -type f -mtime -1 -print'

That was the problem. Thank you atreyu!
