Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi gurus,

I need a grep to locate files created on the date Mar 13th contaiming the text 5791075822 in it.

can you please suggest some good greps for this.

I am currently using ---> find . -mtime 0 | xargs grep '5791075822' , but this does not work as expected.

thanks in advance

best of luck

hi.. i tried from that link, but it didnt work.. can anyone pls help me with my scenario. its urgent pls..

Can you show the result you got and the expected result?

the result I get is

it gives all the lines in the file that it finds... I cannot find the exact file name..

i expect it to give only the file names and also I need to search for files on a particular date..

there are millions of files in the directory and so i want my grep to be efficient as well..(in my scenario, i want it to search for files with the text 'Test Account' created beween 7am and 12 pm yesterday..

thanks

Code:

touch -t 200703130700 /tmp/file1
touch -t 200703140000 /tmp/file2
find . -newer /tmp/file1 \! -newer /tmp/file2 -print | xargs grep -l "5791075822"

Try this:

find . -type f -mtime 0 -exec grep -l "Test Account" {} \;
