Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers HOw to find and copy Post 302073908 by jim mcnamara on Thursday 18th of May 2006 01:41:56 PM

You need to work out the -mtime +<days> and -mtime -<days>
The +<days> = older than, -<days> = younger than

Code:
find /path/to/files -mtime -30 -mtime +13 -print | \
while read file
do
     cp  "$file"  /new/path/`basename "$file"`
done

You may want to mess around with just the first line, until it prints the correct files for you.
