Bash find : another problem with prune
Hello.

I am searching file between dates and try to apply the comments from Chubler_XL in my thread : Linux find command : how to use multiple conditions

But i get a null result as i am expecting to find 32 files.

Setting my computer date to the date of the thread ( 30/05/2019 ) and running the Chubber_XL examples I got the correct result.

Running the test to day (2020-02-03) on yesterday data between 2020_02_02_18h_50m_00s and 2020_02_02_23h_59m_59s, here is my try :
Code:
SEARCH_PATH="/home/user_bidon"
FILE_DATE_REF_DEB="/run/media/user_bidon/SANDSK128G-4/ASUS_GGV/TEMP/001_CONFIG_FILE_DURING_CONFIGURATION/foo_ref_date_2020_02_02_18h_50m_00s.txt"
FILE_DATE_REF_END="/run/media/user_bidon/SANDSK128G-4/ASUS_GGV/TEMP/001_CONFIG_FILE_DURING_CONFIGURATION/foo_ref_date_2020_02_02_23h_59m_59s.txt"
]#
# 1
#
find "$SEARCH_PATH" | wc -l
##                                    --> return 1911 elements
#
#
# 2
#
find "$SEARCH_PATH" \( \
        \( ! -newer "$FILE_DATE_REF_DEB" \) \
        \) -print | wc -l
# #                                    --> return 1703 elements
#
#
# 3
#
find "$SEARCH_PATH" \( \
        \( -newer "$FILE_DATE_REF_END" \) \
        \) -print | wc -l
# #                                    --> return 176 elements
#
# so between date there is 1911 (all) - 1703 (before deb) -176 ( after end) = 32 elements
#
# 4
#
find "$SEARCH_PATH" \( \
        \( -newer "$FILE_DATE_REF_DEB" ! -newer "$FILE_DATE_REF_END" \)  \
        \) -print | wc -l
# #                                    --> return 32 elements
#
# ========================================================================================
#
#
# 5
#
find "$SEARCH_PATH" \( \
        \( -newer "$FILE_DATE_REF_END" -o ! -newer "$FILE_DATE_REF_DEB" \) -prune \
        \) -o -print | wc -l
# #                                    --> return 00 elements != 1911 (all) - 1703 (before deb) -176 ( after end)
#
# ========================================================================================
#


Code:
find "$SEARCH_PATH" \( \
        \( -newer "$FILE_DATE_REF_END" -o ! -newer "$FILE_DATE_REF_DEB" \) -prune \
        \) -o -print | wc -l
# #                                    --> return correct number of elements on Chubler_XL examples
]


Any help is welcome
