Create a list of files that were modified after a given date.
Hello Mates! I'm kinda new to unix and need to a solve a problem.
Input: date
Situation: With the given date I need to find a list of all such files starting from a given path that were modified after the given date.
I experimented with the "find" with "-newer" but did not quite get it to work. Any clarifications through examples appreciated!
Any other pointers on how to solve this would be helpful!!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!!
