UNIX: find files for a date range (only in the current directory) 1

[Guest_imported]

Hello,

In UNIX:

I am trying to find files for a date range in the current directory (Not recurssive/No sub-directory search).

Eg.,
I want to list files created between 09/01/2001 and 09/07/2001.

Please help: Unix Guru's out there.

Thanks in advance,

frntan

Normally to locate a group of files from a specific date range I would use the find command, however in this situation I think a grep would work better.

ls -l | grep "Sep [1-7]" > output file

Hope that helps

aithosn8,
With this command the files created in the past years will also be listed. I want only the files created in the current year (The ex. will be true where the files are created only in the current year).
The approach I took was :

> dummy1
> dummy2

touch -t 200109010000 dummy1
touch -t 200109070000 dummy2

And then I used find command to find the newer than the first file and not -newer from the second file. This lists the date range files - But does not address the search from the current directory.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Here is the two lines you need to distinguish between:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         4655 Sep  1 13:29 test1
-rwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Sep  1  2000 test2

So the difference is that files created on Sep 1-7 in 2001 have the time instead of the year. The following should work.
ls -l | grep "Sep [1-7] ..:" | awk '{print $NF}'

This find should do it.

find * -type d -prune -o -newer dummy1 \! -newer dummy2 -print

Hope this helps. CaKiwi
