Hi all,

I want to find the all of the file with the name DownPDG.log under
specific directory / sub-directories, then sort the result according to
the file's generated time. The issue is these files may locate under
some sub-directories which including white spaces in the path. In this
case, I will meet the error like the following:

-----------
