Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Program to search for the files with specific format Post 302993222 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 7th of March 2017 06:50:18 PM

Create two dummy files: dummy1 and dummy2, with filetimes you want
Code:
#  syntax touch -t yyyymmddhhmm.ss
touch -t  201707031403.12 dummy1
touch -t  201707031403.40 dummy2

Now create a find command using filetimes and the other criteria
Code:
find . -type f -name "*_I_* -a \( -newer dummy1 -a ! -newer dummy2  \) -exec ls -l {} \;

Run that and see if it gave you what you want. You may have to tweak the time statements in touch When it looks good put it back in your loop.
