will always display the filename with mixed case as entered. The default Sort Order, if you don’t specify anything with /O, on an NTFS drive will be in sort-of-alphabetical order or on a FAT USB thumb drive, then the order will be based on the order in which files were created and deleted and the lengths of their names. Override any preset DIRCMD switches by prefixing the switch with. The switches above can be preset by adding them to an environment variable called The number of digits shown is determined by the ShortDate format In most recent builds of Windows this switch has no effect. C Don’t include thousand separator in file sizes.

C Include thousand separator in file sizes. X As for /N but with the short filenames included. N long list format where filenames are on the far right. B Bare format (no heading, file sizes or summary). T: the time field to display & use for sorting O:G Group folders first /O:-G Group folders last A:V Integrity /A:-V NOT Integrity (Windows 8+) A:X No scrub file /A:-X Scrub file (Windows 8+) A:L Reparse Point /A:-L NOT Reparse Point (symbolic link) A:I Not content indexed Files /A:-I NOT content indexed

D Wide List format, sorted by vertical column.

W Wide List format, sorted horizontally. The drive, folder, and/or files to display, If you prefer to go by that to when the file's contents were modified, use -ctime in place of -mtime: find / -name app -type d -ctime 0įor both -mtime and -ctime, the original creation of the file qualifies as a modification / status change.Display a list of files and subfolders. But the time at which its metadata were last changed (e.g., name/location, ownership, permissions) is stored. When a file was created is not typically stored in the filesystem. It will also match folders with modification timestamps in the last day that were created earlier, but you probably don't have many such folders whose exact name is app. (Thus the time in days since the file was modified is rounded down to the nearest integer for purposes of being matched by -mtime.)Ĭreation is considered a form of modification for the purpose of file timestamps, so this will work even if the file's contents weren't altered after it was created. O match -mtime 0, a file will have to have a modification in the past which is less than 24 hours ago. In particular see the explanation of the -mtime flag and the ' find $HOME -mtime 0' example: that were modified more recently than one day (i.e., 24 hours) ago ( -mtime 0),.
