'touch' command on subtree/files

stoffell · 09-23-2003, 10:03 AM

Hi,

I'd like to accomplish a recursive "touch" of files.
There's no option like -R to do a recursive touch of files.

Any idea on how to work-around this? In MC I couldn't find anything usefull ... And i'm talking about a LOT of subdirectory's :-)

Cheers...

This should work

find . -type f -exec touch {} \;

If find is new to you, please read the man page/howto
