HI all.,

this is what i am trying to accomplish exactly;


i have a dir and inside that i have certain files. files keep arriving in that dir. the dir has lot of files but i have to process only those files that arrive today.

for eg: today is mar 21 so i have to process only those files that arrived today.

each dir comes with a prefix TNT and suffix as ctl*
so i tried to use this command;
ls -ltr TNT.*.*.*.ctl* | awk -F" " '{print $6" "$7 }'
the output is:
Feb 27
Feb 27
Feb 27
Feb 27
Feb 28
Feb 28
Mar 9
Mar 21
Mar 21

now i know that today ( Mar 21) there are 2 files that arrived. so i have to pick up ( or find ) these 2 files that arrived today and process them.

thanks
pavi

If you need the files arrived within the last 24 hours use:

Code:

find . -name TNT.*.*.*.ctl* -mtime -1

To find all files created on or after 21 March 2006 00:00:00
touch -t 200603202359.59 /tmp/reffile
find . -name TNT.*.*.*.ctl* -newer /tmp/reffile
