The "easy" way is to re-generate the list using
The "hard" way involves creating a set of regular expressions based on the current date/time and range. The "logwatch" utility has a perlmodule for doing exactly this sort of thing. Respond and I'll post more info.
The really hard way is to calculate the timestamp of the file in seconds based on the ls output and compare that to the current time minus 7 days of seconds (7*24*3600). It might not be as hard as I think, but it involves some straight coding (in Perl or awk) and probably lots of debugging.
I need to find files that have the ending of .out and that are older than 20 days. However, I cannot use find as I do not want to search in the directories that are underneath the directory that I am searching in.
How can this be done?? Find returns files that I do not want. (2 Replies)

test
TEST(1) General Commands Manual TEST(1)NAME
test, [ - test for a condition
SYNOPSIS
test expr
[ expr ]
OPTIONS
(none)
EXAMPLES
test -r file # See if file is readable
DESCRIPTION
Test checks to see if files exist, are readable, etc. and returns an exit status of zero if true and nonzero if false. The legal operators
are
-r file true if the file is readable
-w file true if the file is writable
-x file true if the file is executable
-f file true if the file is not a directory
-d file true if the file is a directory
-s file true if the file exists and has a size > 0
-t fd true if file descriptor fd (default 1) is a terminal
-z s true if the string s has zero length
-n s true if the string s has nonzero length
s1 = s2 true if the strings s1 and s2 are identical
s1 != s2 true if the strings s1 and s2 are different
m -eq m true if the integers m and n are numerically equal
The operators -gt, -ge, -ne, -le, and -lt may be used as well. These operands may be combined with -a (Boolean and), -o (Boolean or), !
(negation). The priority of -a is higher than that of -o. Parentheses are permitted, but must be escaped to keep the shell from trying to
interpret them.
