UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi all,

I need some help with sed command. I'm trying to move all the files with a modified date within 12:00 - 13:00.
What i'm doing here is to do is
ls -lt | grep 'Jun 22 12:' > list.txt

to get all file names within that period.

However how do i strip off
-rw-r--r-- 1 enfoot adi 1816 Jun 22 14:34

and leave just the filename in a list and do a cp -p command to copy all files with the permissions to another new directory?

Any help will be appreciated! OS is solaris 10.2.

Regards,
Alvin

I would actually do it like this:

touch -d "Jun 22 11:59" /tmp/first
touch -d "Jun 22 13:00" /tmp/last
find . -maxdepth 1 -newer /tmp/first ! -newer /tmp/last -exec cp -p {} somewhere \;

But that's just me. I also use cygwin, so YMMV.

Thanks anarchie,

That was helpful!
