Hi,

Is there a way to list all of the files in a directory within a range
of date or just a specific date? Any helps are appreciated.

TIA,
-Chris

Yes.

Oh, you want to know what it is?

man find. Look for the 'time' options.

For instance:

# ls -ltr /tmp
total 80
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root sys 5080 Jun 25 14:10 ps_data
drwx------ 2 root root 182 Jun 25 14:10 smc898
drwxr--r-- 2 root root 117 Jun 25 14:10 SunMCDBLogFiles
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 25879 Jul 15 14:07
probeserver.stderr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 110012 Jul 29 13 14:51 testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 143296 Aug 10 14:51 file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 11 Aug 13 14:51 myfile

I basically want to be able to list all of files from Jul 15 to Aug
10. Is it possible to do that?

Thx,
-Chris

Yes,

create reference files with the correct timestamps (touch -t ...) then
use the find expressions "-newer file1" and "! -newer file2"

Hi,

find / \( -name a.out -o -name '*.o' \) -atime +7

for modified time option is - mtime.
