Will break on paths/files with embedded spaces, use
find . -type f -mtime +18 -exec /bin/echo '"{}"' \; | more
Also if you're going to turn it into an rm, I'd generally do it in two
steps:
find . -type f -mtime +18 -exec /bin/echo rm '"{}"' \; > script.sh
(read script.sh in editor and make sure it's right!)
. ./script.sh
