searching a file by date...

It's possible to use "find" to search a file that was modified for example between 5/10/2004 and 7/11/2005? How can i do this? I saw there is option -mtime, but i don't understand how to use it in this case. Thanks

NAME
which-pkg-broke - find which package might have broken another SYNOPSIS
which-pkg-broke package DESCRIPTION
The which-pkg-broke program will retrieve a list of the named package and all its dependencies sorted by the time they were installed on the system (as determined from the mtime information of /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list . This tool makes it possible for a system admin to obtain information that might correlate installation of package dependencies with a pack- age breakage in order to find which package update might be responsible for the breakage. EXAMPLES
This tool can be useful determine which package dependencies were upgraded more recently and might be associated with the bug that is being observed. For example, if aptitude stops working properly, an administrator can run: $ which-pkg-broke aptitude Package <libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3> has no install time info libdb1-compat Fri Aug 8 03:02:11 2003 libsigc++-1.2-5c102 Fri Aug 8 05:15:58 2003 aptitude Sun Jan 11 17:38:06 2004 libncurses5 Sun Jan 18 08:11:05 2004 libc6 Thu Jan 22 07:55:10 2004 libgcc1 Tue Jan 27 07:37:22 2004 gcc-3.3-base Tue Jan 27 07:37:31 2004 libstdc++5 Tue Jan 27 07:37:32 2004 So depending on exactly when the misbehaviour started, there may be a reason to point the finger at a more-recently updated library like libstdc++ or libncurses, which are more-recently installed than aptitude itself.
