Thanks, maybe I can find a nice place in find.1 or find.texi to add such an example ... wait - there is already a similar example: https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_node/find_html/Updating-A-Timestamp-File.html#Updating-A-Timestamp-File yet that doesn't work with arbitrary file names. I have to think about it. Have a nice day, Berny
