c shell script help with find
Okie here is my problem,
1. I have a directory with a ton of files.
2. I want to first get an input on how many days ago the files were created.
3. I will take those files and put it into another file
4. Then I will take the last # from each line and subtract by 1 then diff the line from the file from the line that was subtracted.
I was thinking of first using
ex: "find . -name '*file_num_*' -print > latestfiles"
then i am unsure of where to go from there.
is there a flag on find that will let me take the files created within a date range of certain number of days ago?

reads the inode list and directories of each special file, assuming it to be a VxFS file system, and prints inode data for files that match
the selection criteria. Output consists of the pathname for each saved inode, plus any other file information requested using the print
options below. Output fields are positional. The output is produced in inode order; fields are separated by tabs. The default line pro-
duced by is:
pathname inumber
The pathname is preceded by a dot unless you specify the generic option. The maximum information displays is:
pathname inumber size owner
The num parameter in the options descriptions is a decimal number, where means more than num days, means less than num days, and num means
exactly num days. A day is defined as a 24-hour period.

Options
recognizes the following options:
Select a file if the inode has been accessed in

num days.
