Program to list all dirs, subdirs and files older than 1 year

[Prime]

Hello,

Anyone know of a program or class that takes in a directory,
recursively scans that directory for any files or subdirectories for a
criteria, (say over 1 year old), and then can output those file names?


Thank you!
Patrick

Does it need to be multi-platform? Because that sounds like a job for
some scripts in a shell environment.

Monique:

multiplatform would be best, as the environment is windows but might
eventually switch to Red Hat.

Haven't tested it but something like (you will definitely need to modify
this)-

public static void listDirs(Collection fileCollection, File
baseDir, FileFilter filter)
{
File children[] = baseDir.listFiles(filter);
for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++)
{
File childFile = children;
if(childFile.isDirectory())
{
listDirs(fileCollection,childFile,filter);
}
fileCollection.add(childFile);
}
}
I do not know how this will work for symbolic links (infinite loops!).

GNU find, like this:

find . -mtime +365
