List Files & Folders created/modified

tipsy · #1 (**permalink**) 10-24-2006

Hello people,
I want to list the files & folders created/modified since a particular date say June 2006. I know I can list recursively thru the folders and use awk to extract the date column to get the desired output.

Just wanted to check whether there is an easier way to do this. Please let me know.

Regards,
T.

Have you looked into the 'find' command?

Thanks Glenn.

Yes. find command does it.

To list files modified 30 days back
find . -type f -mtime -30

To list folders modified 30 days back
find . -type d -mtime -30

Regards,
T.
