UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,
I want to list out the files for a particular date recursively along with timestamp and directory name .

I tried using command

ls -lRt this list out all the files along with directory structure

but i want for a particular date so i tried with

ls -lRt | grep 20110809

in this case I am getting all the file name for a particular date but I am missing the parent directory name.

SO if someone can help me with command to achieve this it will really help me my daily work.

Code:

find . -type f -printf '%p %AY%Am%Ad\n' | grep 20110809

Thanks a lot for taking your time but somehow I am getting an error

bash-3.00$ find . -type f -printf '%p %AY%Am%Ad\n'
find: bad option -printf
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list
bash-3.00$ find . -type f -printf '%p %AY%Am%Ad\n' | grep 20110809
find: bad option -printf
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list
bash-3.00$

Something which i was not able to explain in my earlier mail
My directory name is not based on date its Alphabatical name but file inside is having datetime pattern e.g
is
AAAAA
---BBBB
xxxx20110809
--------CCCC
-------------DDDD
------------------EEEEE
------------------------FFFFF
Again this is not the Name pattern it is just I have to put for better understanding.

Thanking you in advance

Code:

 
find . -type f -ls | grep 20110809

try the below, replace /opt with the directory you want to search. I searched with time stamp of 201108101652, replace it with what you need.

Code:

find /opt -exec ls -al {} \;|grep "201108101652"

Thanks for prompt reply ...but its printing twice one time without path and next with path

to explain better to group

bash-3.00$

bash-3.00$ ls -lRt Raj
RAJ:

drwxrwxrwx 2 Raj Prati 1024 Aug 6 11:00 Prati

So if we look at above the directory structre is missing but I want directory and subdirectory comletely.
Also,
if somehow I can just print the Timestamp column and Filename it will be great

What timestamp do you need? From the output of 'ls' (as 5 and 6 columns) or from the filename?
