How to see the files you’ve created today

TODAY I LEARNED TO LIST ALL THE FILES I CREATED WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS!!

find . -mtime -1 -type f -print

EXPORT TO A CSV

find . -mtime -1 -type f -print > opened-today.csv

I also learned that if you do that in your parent directory, you will have a zillion of cache files. This was an interesting learning moment for me… WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ALL OF THOSE CACHE FILES?!?!

How to analyze the files you’ve created today

BEFORE THAT WORKED I TRIED:

def get_parent(file):
    return file.split('/')[1]
df['main'] = df.apply(lambda x: get_parent(x['files']), axis=1)
df

another workaround!

new_df = og_df.copy()
new_df['files'] = new_df['files'].str.replace("/", "---")
new_df
nd = new_df['files'].str.split('---', 0, expand=True)
nd
