Lol, is this hairsplitting? Do you know all finds that exist in the world? Sure, it is obvious that all should have -atime, but how can we really know?!. Smilie Smilie

-atime is a switch, what it follows I'd call an operand or parameter. Never heared it different nor read it in a book.

ok.. this is one method..

First evaluate the number of days between the days using the script below..

Code:
D1=`date +%s -d "2007-12-19"`
D2=`date +%s -d "2008-02-09"`
((diff_sec=D2-D1))
echo - | awk -v SECS=$diff_sec '{printf "Number of days : %d",SECS/(60*60*24)}'

Then fire the following command...

Code:
find . -atime $Diff

where $Diff is the variable which contains diffrence between two dates

hope this helps.. Tweak the script as per your need...
