Please post "ls -la" directory listing of one of the files mentioned. This is to clarify the exact format of modified date and time stamp.
Please state whether the directory containing the files has subdirectories.
Please state approximately how many files there are in the directory.
Please post your Operating System and preferred shell (e.g. bash, ksh, etc.).
There are two common approaches to selecting all files between two dates. One involves using extensions to the "date" command in Linux to convert a character date into a binary date suitable for comparison. Another more portable unix/Linux solution involves creating temporary reference files with specific timestamps and using unix "find" (or even shell file timestamp comparison commands) to decide which files fall between the range.
