How will retrieve for a particular months file in UNIX say for example from January to February 2008.

File by Unix filesystem timestamp or by date in it's filename?

In the 1st case, use

Code:

man find

and have a closer look at the -mtime switch maybe, also conjunction of -a for "and".

In the 2nd case, use something like

Code:

find .| grep -i <entersomepatternhereaccordingtoyourdateinthefilename>
