Find all files by month
Hi,

I am trying to do achieving of files by months.

find /test -name \*.* -mtime +30

But lets say i want to list all files that is modified in last months... what is the command to do it?
Thanks!

Something on the lines of this should work.

find /test -name '*.*' -newer oldfile ! -newer newfile

where oldfile has an old modified date and
newfile has a newer modified date compared to oldfile.

thanks vino for the help.
that's definately a great help.
however is there any other option than specifiying the file name?
it is because i won't have the luxury to know the old file and new file name in the folder.

I am lost. What are you trying to achieve ? Find files between two dates or something else ?
