grep help

[skiflyer]

Ok, not quite the right place, but close!

I'm using a DOS command line, but also using Cygwin, and the question has to do with grep.

I want to get say, all the files from 04/15/2003 - 04/23/2003

So I do a

dir /OD | grep -e 04/1[5-9]/2003 -e 04/2[0-3]/2003

But I'm conviced I can do this with one pattern... am I dumb or am I right?

How about
[tt]dir /OD | egrep '04/(1[5-9]|2[0-3])/2003'[/tt]
