+**Note:** If the directory argument to find is a fully expressed path (`/home/somedir/.snapshot`), then you should use `basename` on the `-name` filter:

 #### All the other info
 
 If trying to parse out any other fields, first see whether `stat` (GNU, OS X, FreeBSD) or `find -printf` (GNU) can give you the data you want directly.
