I have a list of files in file.lst
.
Now I want to find all files in a directory dir
which are older than 7 days, except those in the file.lst
file. How can I either modify the find command or remove all entries in file.lst
from the result?
Example:
file.lst
:
a
b
c
Execute:
find -mtime开发者_运维问答 +7 -print > found.lst
found.lst
:
a
d
e
so what I expect is:
d
e
Pipe your find
command through grep -Fxvf
:
find -mtime +7 -print | grep -Fxvf file.lst
What the flags mean:
-F, --fixed-strings
Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings, separated by newlines, any of which is to be matched.
-x, --line-regexp
Select only those matches that exactly match the whole line.
-v, --invert-match
Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines.
-f FILE, --file=FILE
Obtain patterns from FILE, one per line. The empty file contains zero patterns, and therefore matches nothing.
Pipe the find-command to grep
using the -v
and -f
switches
find -mtime +7 -print | grep -vf file.lst > found.lst
grep options:
-v : invert the match
-f file: - obtains patterns from FILE, one per line
example:
$ ls
a b c d file.lst
$ cat file.lst
a$
b$
c$
$ find . | grep -vf file.lst
.
./file.lst
./d
