I'm using the find command in a ksh script, and I'm trying to retrieve just the filenames, rather than the full path. As in, I want it to return text.exe, not //severname/dir1/dir2/text.exe.
How would I go about getting that? To clarify, I know the directory the files are in, I am just grabbing the ones created before a certain date, so the pathname doesn't matter.

Normally find command will retrieve the filename and its path as one string. If you want to display only the filename, you can use basename command. find infa/bdm/server/source/path -type f -iname "source_fname_*. txt"
Click the Start button and then click Computer, click to open the location of the desired file, hold down the Shift key and right-click the file. Copy As Path: Click this option to paste the full file path into a document. Properties: Click this option to immediately view the full file path (location).
find ... -exec basename {} \; will also do the trick .. but as @Kent asks, why do you want this?

If you're using GNU find, then
find path -printf "%f\n" will just print the file name and exclude the path.
