searching a file by date...
It's possible to use "find" to search a file that was modified for example between 5/10/2004 and 7/11/2005? How can i do this? I saw there is option -mtime, but i don't understand how to use it in this case. Thanks

Change the date to a format touch can use, then add one day, and subtract one day
Code:
touch ./old -t 200801100000 # jan 10 2008 at one second after midnight touch ./new -t 20080102359 # jan 10 2008 23 hours 59 find /path/to/files \( -newer ./old -a ! -newer ./new\) -print
