Hello All,

I am new to this shell scripting , I wanted to modify the output of my find command such that it does not display the path but only file names , for example I am searching for the files which are modified in the last 24 hours which is

find /usr/monitor/text/ -type f -mtime -1 -print , this is returning me the output as

/usr/monitor/text/abc.txt
/usr/monitor/text/def.txt
/usr/monitor/text/ijk.txt

but i want to modify the output such that it gives only the file names and remove the path

please advice me on this

Hello,
go directly into the Directory and execute
find . -mtime ......
If there were Directorys in your path you'll have the same problem.

You could use the basename command to cut off the path of your find results.

Which Problem are you trying to solve?

Cheers,
