Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Need to print file names in a certain date range using ls Post 8230 by punter5 on Monday 8th of October 2001 06:47:35 PM

Try using:

ls -lt | grep 'Date'

Example: ( Using Solaris 7 )

If you were looking for files on July 4, 2000 you would

ls -lt | grep 'Jul 4 2000'
ls -lt | grep 'Jul(2spaces)4(2spaces)2000'

If you were looking for files on November 30, 1998 you would

ls -lt | grep 'Nov 30 1998'
ls -lt | grep 'Nov(1space)30(2spaces)1998'

You must be careful with your spacing. Run ls -l and pay close attention to the way the date field is spaced.

Hope this helps.

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
