How to recursively list all files with timestamps and full path?
3
I want to recursively list all files in a given directory, with their full path and their timestamps. Something like this:
10:30 Dec 10 2010 /tmp/mydir/myfile
I've tried with:
find . -type f -exec ls -la {} ;
but that doesn't give me the full path.
linux ls

And another way to do it if your find doesn't support printf
find . -type f | xargs ls -al | awk -v pwd="$PWD" '{ print $(NF-2), $(NF-1) , pwd substr($(NF), 2)}'
Note: This only works as long as there aren't any spaces in the filenames. Output looks like this:
2010-09-29 22:08 /home/nifle/ac.txt
2010-10-04 16:02 /home/nifle/array.sh
2010-10-05 23:32 /home/nifle/b.txt
2010-12-15 16:49 /home/nifle/barcopy/subbar/ghut
2010-12-15 16:48 /home/nifle/bardir/subbar/ghut

Solution 1 (ls)
Run ls on each file and filter the result:
find "$PWD" -type f -exec ls -la {} ; | cut -d ' ' -f 6-
Output:
Jun 14 00:02 /tmp/superuser.com/questions/370070/bar
Jun 14 20:24 /tmp/superuser.com/questions/228529/file with multiple spaces
Jan 2 1972 /tmp/superuser.com/questions/228529/old_file
Solution 2 (-printf)
Use -printf:
find "$PWD" -type f -printf "%t %pn"
Output:
Thu Jun 14 00:02:47.0173429319 2012 /tmp/superuser.com/questions/370070/bar
Thu Jun 14 20:24:16.0947808489 2012 /tmp/superuser.com/questions/228529/file with multiple spaces
Sun Jan 2 03:04:05.0000000000 1972 /tmp/superuser.com/questions/228529/old_file
Solution 3 (stat)
Run GNU stat on each file:
find "$PWD" -type f -exec stat --format '%y %n' {} ;
Output:
2016-03-30 04:32:10.034718786 +0300 /etc/passwd
2015-12-21 19:30:07.854470768 +0200 /etc/group
Tip: if you have GNU find, ; can be replaced with +.

tree is a nice alternative:
tree -fD --timefmt %c
Format the time using strftime syntax.
