find log file between two dates
Dear All,

Please can you help me to crack this query?

If the log files for the task above all had a naming convention of myoutput_YearMonthDay.log (i.e. myoutput_20060215) How would you find only those log files created between the 10th and the 20th of each month going back the last 365 days.

Note: This script must run on a nightly basis and you cannot assume you know what year it is.

thanks in advance.

Hammer & Screwdriver Here is an example of one approach
Code:
> ll s*
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis dp 5 Apr 14 07:24 s20060210
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis dp 5 Apr 14 07:25 s20060219
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis dp 5 Apr 14 07:25 s20060220
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis dp 5 Apr 14 07:25 s20060221
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis dp 5 Apr 14 07:25 s20070219
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis dp 5 Apr 14 07:25 s20070221

> ll s200???1? -o s200???20
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis 5 Apr 14 07:24 s20060210
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis 5 Apr 14 07:25 s20060219
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis 5 Apr 14 07:25 s20060220
-rw-rw---- 1 jgillis 5 Apr 14 07:25 s20070219

Note that I only got files with dates 10-20 inclusive.

Code:
> ls -a s200???1? -o s200???20 | cut -d" " -f8
s20060210
s20060219
s20060220
s20070219

And now, just have the filenames.
