[Solved] remove all files of 2010
Hi,
how to use "rm" to delete only files from year 2010 ?

Thank you.

Something like this:
Code:
touch -t 201001010000.00 start-yr
touch -t 201012312359.59 end-yr
find . -newer start-yr \! \( -newer end-yr \) -exec echo rm {} \;

Remove the echo if you are happy with the output.
