Hi Methyl,

I have used your code and its working fine.
But I need a 1 liner which I am not able to work out.

i want to execute a one line command which will list all files of a particular pattern with todays date.
The same pattern files may be present for yesterday also but the command will list only file with current date (todays date)

What do you want the output to look like?

only the file names would do

Fair attempt at a one-liner. Does not work for filenames containing space characters but does avoid calling "date" for each filename.

Code:

TODAY="`date +'%b %e'`";find `pwd` -type f -name "esi01v*" -mtime -1 -exec ls -lad "{}" \; | grep " ${TODAY} "|awk '{print $9}'

What we can do is to "touch" a file that is created today at 00:00:00 and we can use shell to compare those files newer than this file

Code:

touch -t 200907180000 /tmp/today.file
for i in `find . -type f`
do
    if [ $i -nt /tmp/today.file ]; then
        echo $i
    fi
done

BTW, the "-nt" newer only available in ksh and bash

Sorry, we need to make it more generic

Code:

touch -t `date '+%Y%m%d0000'` /tmp/today.file
for i in `find . -type f`
do
    if [ $i -nt /tmp/today.file ]; then
        echo $i
    fi
done
