Add parameter in UNIX from date
Hello All,
I am printing name of the files from the server(XXCU_DATA_TOP/AP/in/123). Now I want to add From Date Parameter and retrieve files from server from a specific date(From Date Parameter) on the server path. Ex. Parameter: 01-Oct-2017 so the file name should be print from 01-Oct-2017.

I am using below code in unix shell script to fetch the files from the server.


[sample script}
Code:
echo "$XXCU_DATA_TOP/AP/in/123" cd $XXCU_DATA_TOP/AP/in/123 find . -type f -print -maxdepth 1 | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|____;g;s;____|; |;g'

If you have GNU find, you can use -newer option.
Code:
       -newer file
              File was modified more recently than file.  If file is a symbolic link and the -H option or the -L option is in effect, the modification time of
              the file it points to is always used.

Code:
touch -t 201710010000 startfile

find . -type f -maxdepth 1 -newer startfile -print

Thanks for your quick reply but I am still getting 3 files.
Suppose I have AA, BB and CC files.
Now AA files is created in 01-Sep-2017
And BB files is created in 01-Mar-2017
And CC files is created in 01-Oct-2017
So If I pass the parameter as 01-Aug-2017 so it should print only 2 files i.e.AA(created in 01-Sep-2017) and CC( created in 01-Oct-2017)

Correct, just modify the time stamp of startfile before passing it to find command:-
Code:
touch -t 201708010000 startfile

I am very new to unix so could you please help how can i modify the timestamp of files which are already there on the server.
# 6  
Old 10-11-2017
You can modify the (last modification) timestamp of a file either by editing and saving it, or changing it in some other way, or by using the touch command, as Yoda demonstrated (without the -t option the current local timestamp will be used).
