How Get Complete Date in List of file

Satyak · #1 (**permalink**) 07-16-2009

Hi,

I am unable to get the complete date format in ls command.
I need to list file with complete date format in home directory.

If I give 2007/01/01 then i should get all the log files below that particular date.

Pls help me

Are you saying you are doing a ls command with a date as part of the input to the command. Something to the effect:

ls *2007/01/01*

or are the files under a dated directory like /home/2007/01/01?

Whenever using a "/" in a file list you would have to escape it so that it does interpret the "/" as a directory. So you could do something like

ls *2007\/01\/01*

Giving us example if the file names you would see in the directory and where would help.

This works in ksh

ls 23\\02\\2009
