How to use output from find for if-condition?

Question

I would like that if this command outputs anything

find /var/www/cgi-bin -name touch -cmin 10

then should "ok" be echoed.

Have tried

if [ $(find /var/www/cgi-bin -name touch -cmin 10) ]; then echo "ok";fi

but it never echoes anything.

Answer 1

Put double quotes around $(..):

if [ "$(find /var/www/cgi-bin -name touch -cmin 10)" ]; then echo "ok"; fi

This will interpret the output of find as a single word.
