parsing errors

[graziano68]

Hello

I have to execute exactly this linux command using shell_exec .

find /test/ -type f -mtime +5 | awk '{print "rm \""$1" "$2" "$3"\" " }'


but I receive always a parsing error . Any help please ?


Thank you

in other words using echo (which is the same to test)

echo" find /test/ -type f -mtime +5 | awk '{print \"rm \"\"$1\" \"$2\" \"$3\"\"\" }' ";

return this

find /test/ -type f -mtime +5 | awk '{print "rm ""$1" "$2" "$3""" }'

while I want return this

find /test/ -type f -mtime +5 | awk '{print "rm \""$1" "$2" "$3"\"" }'

May I suggest:

find /test/ -type f -mtime +5 -exec rm -f '{}' ';'

try this

echo " find /test/ -type f -mtime +5 | awk '{print \"rm \\\"\"$1\" \"$2\" \"$3\"\\\"\" }' ";
