The problem :
Quote:
Find from path any files
Newer than some date
Excluding files from some folders
Excluding some kind of files
Then sort
Here a solution of my problem
Code:
find "$MY_PATH" -type d \( "${FA[@]}" \) -prune -o \( -newer $MY_PATH/FROM_DATE_FILE.txt \! -newer $MY_PATH/TO_DATE_FILE2.txt   \)  -o -type f \( "${FB[@]}" -exec bash -c 'DO_IT $0 ' {} \; \) | sort

where
Code:
"${FA[@]}" contains a list of directories to exclude
FA=( -path  $MY_PATH/.cache  -o -path  $MY_PATH/.dbus ....  -o  -path  $MY_PATH/.config/kdeconnect )

where
Code:
"${FB[@]}" contains a list of files to exclude
FB=( ! -name  ".direct*" ! -name ".Xauthor*" ! -name ".xsession*" ....   ! -name "drkonqirc"  ! -name "granatierrc"  )

date are set using the command touch like
Code:
touch -d “2017-04-13 16:21:42”  $MY_PATH/FROM_DATE_FILE.txt 
touch -d “2017-04-14 00:00:00”  $MY_PATH/TO_DATE_FILE.txt

locale::codes::langfam

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Locale::Codes::LangFam(3)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangFam;

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa');		       # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
	  $code = langfam2code('Apache languages');    # $code gets 'apa'

	  @codes   = all_langfam_codes();
	  @names   = all_langfam_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
       ISO 639-5.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
       language family codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
       constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
	  $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
