[ILUG] Find query

[Justin MacCarthy]

Here is what I did: 

(I created the folder and 3 files. )

macarthy at Shaftoe /c/testfiles

$ ls -la
total 34
drwxr-xr-x   2 macarthy None            0 Feb 12 12:37 .
drwxr-xr-x  62 macarthy None        28672 Feb 12 12:36 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 macarthy None         1393 Feb 12 12:36 test1.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 macarthy None         1393 Feb 12 12:37 test2.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 macarthy None         1393 Feb 12 12:37 test3.txt


(Touched the test1.txt )

macarthy at Shaftoe /c/testfiles 
$ touch -t 02111200 test1.txt

macarthy at Shaftoe /c/testfiles
$ ls -la
total 34
drwxr-xr-x   2 macarthy None            0 Feb 12 12:37 .
drwxr-xr-x  62 macarthy None        28672 Feb 12 12:36 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 macarthy None         1393 Feb 11 12:00 test1.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 macarthy None         1393 Feb 12 12:37 test2.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 macarthy None         1393 Feb 12 12:37 test3.txt

(Tried find command )

macarthy at Shaftoe /c/testfiles

$ find /c/testfiles/ -daystart -ctime -1
/c/testfiles/
/c/testfiles/test1.txt
/c/testfiles/test2.txt
/c/testfiles/test3.txt


Surely test1.txt shouldn't be listed ?? I am doing something stupid?
