Finding a certain date.

Hello, Im very close and need just a little help: ---------------------------------------- find ~ -size +1b -mtime -l -ls | sort g ---------------------------------------- I can find everything modified within the last 24 hours, but i need to find something that i did in october. Thanks.

Say the date you are looking for is Oct. 8, 2008 find ~ -true -exec ls -l {} \; | grep 2008-10-08

You need to use regular expressions with the call to grep. See man 7 regex or do a www.google.com/linux on regular expressions. As an example, in a subdirectory you want to find all the files created on August 21 and August 28. ls -l | grep "2008-08-2[18]" For time, say the same example but you also want the time to be between 10:00 and 13:00 ls -l | grep "2008-08-2[18] 1[0-2]" which would get you the files with mod times between 10:00 and 12:59
