I dont think you have much choice... you will have to use the
find command...

If you only want to use ls, then you are to use
ls -l anda pipe with grep the pattern being the date.. (and a extra pipe for
wc -l

Code:
ran:/home/vbe $ ls -l|grep " Jun 1[12] " -rw-rw-rw- 1 vbe bin 4192 Jun 11 18:12 net_pb.out -rw------- 1 vbe bin 372 Jun 12 20:09 nohup.out ran:/home/vbe $ ls -l|grep " Jun 1[12] "|wc -l 3 Possible issue with this approach you will not have with find: Code:
ran:/home/vbe $ ls -l|grep " Jun 1[12] " -rw-rw-rw- 1 vbe bin 367 Jun 12 2009 dsk_todo.090526 -rw-rw-rw- 1 vbe bin 4192 Jun 11 18:12 net_pb.out -rw------- 1 vbe bin 372 Jun 12 20:09 nohup.out |
