Recursively find all files newer than a given time
This is a bit circuitous because touch
doesn't take a raw time_t
value, but it should do the job pretty safely in a script. (The -r
option to date
is present in MacOS X; I've not double-checked GNU.) The 'time' variable could be avoided by writing the command substitution directly in the touch
command line.
time=$(date -r 1312603983 '+%Y%m%d%H%M.%S')
marker=/tmp/marker.$$
trap "rm -f $marker; exit 1" 0 1 2 3 13 15
touch -t $time $marker
find . -type f -newer $marker
rm -f $marker
trap 0
You can find every file what is created/modified in the last day, use this example:
find /directory -newermt $(date +%Y-%m-%d -d '1 day ago') -type f -print
for finding everything in the last week, use '1 week ago' or '7 day ago' anything you want
Maybe someone can use it. Find all files which were modified within a certain time frame recursively, just run:
find . -type f -newermt "2013-06-01" \! -newermt "2013-06-20"
