You're right ctim eis not creation but is close enough for my script
find /myth/recordings/ -maxdepth 1 -name \*.mpg -ctime -1 ! -mtime -1 -print
I did not know you could use the ! that saves one line of code ;o)
My script so far looks like this,can someone help me on one issue.
If a file name has a space then the script goes wrong as it interprets
each word as a file, I thought that putting the variable into quotes
would fix this but it did not, what is the answer please.
for i in `find /myth/recordings/ -maxdepth 1 -name \*.mpg -ctime -1 !
-mmin -1 -print`
do
/usr/bin/mencoder "$i" -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts
bitrate=800 -o $TMP/tmp.mpg > $TPM/enc_errors 2>&1 && cp -fv
$TMP/tmp.mpg "$i"
done
Thanks
Change IFS to nothing (<cr>) before the call to 'for in find...'
e.g;
IFS=
for i in `find...
