These are the list of files in one directory in the server :
I want to move only specific files from this folder to another folder. Let's say I choose only files dated 'Apr 19 14:04' to 'Apr 19 17:43'. This is the command I run to execute this task :
However as you can see, I get the error above. 'No such file or directory'. How do I choose files with specific dates to move to another directory?
This is important as I need to create a script that moves files from a set date in a month. So far I need to move files dated every 2nd, 8th and 16th onwards, (but the end date is not fixed, which is why I need a script that selects files from the dates mentioned onwards) and move it to another directory. If this were not the case, I know I can use 'mtime' to move the files.
