UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

dears,
I have a folder containing huge no. of files, some of them are created on AUG 16, AUG 17 and AUG 18, for example.
All I want to do is tarring all the files created on a certain date, say AUG 18, in one tar file, only in one command line.
So, how to feed all the files created on a certain date to the tar command, provided that I don't want to use a for loop, I just want 1 command line.

can the (find) command be helpfull,

Thanks, so much,for your usual support,
Marwan

Yuu are on the right track, you can use find

thanks man, i know that i am on the right track, but i need more help than that

Code:

find . -type f -mtime XX| xargs tar -cvf marwan.tar

thanks kamitsin for your fast response, but execuse me as i am a liitle new with that.
the option -mtime specifies the time as a multiple of 24 hours, and don't specify the whole day as i want, and i think the results will not be the same.
Second, what does the command xargs mean exactly, i did'nt get it form the man.

thanks alot
