UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hi,

I want to search all files in the current working direcotry and to print in comma (,) seperated output. But I have two patterns to search for.

Files will be in ABC20100508.DAT format.

Search should happen on the format (ABC????????.DAT) along with date(20100508).

I can do a

Code:

ls -ltrdm ABC????????.DAT

to list the file with the defined format but I am not able to do a date check.

Code:

ls -ltrdm ABC????????.DAT | ls 20100508

Above one is not working.

Any soultion is highly appreciated.

BY date do you mean when the file was last written to?

Code:

touch -t 201050800000 dummy
touch -t 201005082359 dummy1
find /path/to/files -name ABC????????.DAT  \( -newer dummy -a ! -newer dummy1 \) -exec ls -l {} \;

Hi,
I mean, If the date is present in the file name.
