Maybe not your requirement, but a general solution to count number of files as per date:
Code:
$cat test1
#!/bin/ksh
ls -l | grep "^-" | awk '{
key=$6$7
freq[key]++
}
END {
for (date in freq)
        printf "%s\t%d\n", date, freq[date]
}'

Here is some sample input:
Code:
$ls -l | grep "^-"
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    other             0 Jul 30 12:31 test.cpp
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    other             3 Aug 16 07:56 test.cpp.z
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    other             0 Jul 30 12:31 test.txt
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    other             0 Jul 30 12:31 test1.cpp
-rw-r--r--    1 admin    other             3 Aug 16 07:56 test1.cpp.z

Output:
Code:
$./test1
Aug16   2
Jul30   3

Regards,
Tayyab

gc

GC(1)							      General Commands Manual							     GC(1)

NAME

       gc - count graph components

SYNOPSIS

       gc [ -necCaDUrsv?  ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

       gc is a graph analogue to wc in that it prints to standard output the number of nodes, edges, connected components or clusters contained in
       the input files.  It also prints a total count for all graphs if more than one graph is given.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n     Count nodes.

       -e     Count edges.

       -c     Count connected components.

       -C     Count clusters. By definition, a cluster is a graph or subgraph whose name begins with "cluster".

       -a     Count all. Equivalent to -encC

       -r     Recursively analyze subgraphs.

       -s     Print no output. Only exit value is important.

       -D     Only analyze directed graphs.

       -U     Only analyze undirected graphs.

       -v     Verbose output.

       -?     Print usage information.

       By default, gc returns the number of nodes and edges.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       files   Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in dot format.  If no files operand is specified, the standard input will be used.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0   Successful completion.

       1   The -U or -E option was used, and a graph of the wrong type was encountered.
