in thread Oldest file using -M

Thanks for your comments ehdonhon, I decided not to go with the sort method as it shouldn't be as efficent as just checking the file size. Unfortunately effeciency is the key in this problem as there may be up to 50,000 files in a given directory.
Thanks for your help, Gerard
