Display files based on particular file timestamp
Hi,

I have requirement to list out files that are created after particular file.
ex. I have below files in my directory. I want to display files created after /dirdat/CG1/cg004440 file.

Code:
        
./dirdat/CG1/cg004438   09/07/14   0:44:05       
./dirdat/CG1/cg004439   09/07/14   6:01:48       
./dirdat/CG1/cg004440   09/07/14   6:07:01       
./dirdat/CG1/cg004441   09/07/14   6:10:32 
./dirdat/CG1/cg004442   09/07/14   6:26:00       
./dirdat/CG1/cg004443   09/07/14   9:43:54

expected output is
Code:
./dirdat/CG1/cg004441   09/07/14   6:10:32 
./dirdat/CG1/cg004442   09/07/14   6:26:00       
./dirdat/CG1/cg004443   09/07/14   9:43:54

Any support on this greatly helpful.

Thanks,
Mallik.

Start with find:

Code:
find ./dirdat/CG1 -name 'cg0*' -newer ./dirdat/CG1/cg004440  -ls

The newer predicate does what you want.

do
  if [[ $i -nt ./dirdat/CG1/cg004440 ]]; then
    echo $i
  fi
done
