There are several possibilities depending on what you want included in the list. Several of them are much easier to implement if you have the desired start time and end time as timestamps on existing files. For a June to August search, create the following files:
Code:
touch -t 201205312359.59 __start__
touch -t 201209010000 __end__

Then if you run ls -lrt you will see the files you want between the listings for __start__ and __end__. If you want files in a file hierarchy not limited to the current directory, you can use something like:
Code:
find <directory_list> -newer __start__ ! -newer __old__

to give you a list of files you want.
