Sort files by date, not showing files from today

carlosdivega · #1 (**permalink**) 07-17-2008

Hi all,

i'm new here in this forum. I really like the helpful answers in this forum.

Here a short question.
For a script i have to sort files by date and exclude the files of the actual date.

Sorting the files by date and preparing the output for awk is done by this line:

ls -l Transfer*.log | awk '{ print $6 $7"08 " $9}' | sort -k 1,1 | awk '{print do my comand}' | csh

Is there a easy way to extend this one liner to exclude files of the actual day.

Many thanks for all you input.

Maybe just do

Code:

find . -type f -name "Transfer*.log" -mtime +1 -print

Not sure if you want it being recursive, else just -prune it.

ls -lt | grep -v "$(date '+%b %d')"

depending on the way ls -l date is displayed, may need to manipulate the date format ..

you can sort reverse by
ls -ltr | grep -v "$(date '+%b %d')"
