How to find last two files for a month?
Hi All,
I need to find last two files for the month.
lets say there are following files in directory
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Mar 19 15:43 c.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Mar 21 15:43 d.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Mar 22 15:43 f.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Mar 24 15:43 h.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Mar 25 15:43 w.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Feb 12 15:43 q.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Feb 21 15:43 a.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Feb 22 15:43 s.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Feb 23 15:43 k.txt
-rwxr-xr-x   1 user  userg         1596 Feb 27 15:43 j.txt

output should be:
Code:
Mar 24 15:43 h.txt

You would need to repeat this monthwise:
Code:
 ls -lt | grep Mar | head -2

Code:
ls -lrt | awk '{a[(NR % 2) $6] = ($6 FS $7 FS $8 FS $9)} END {for(x in a) print a[x]}'

Try :

Code:
$ find . -name '*.txt' -mtime -60 -mtime +10 -ls

-60 60 days old but

+10 days younger since today is April 10

10< query <60
