i have files arriving like above.
i am using the following to extract files arriving today ( say apr4)

todaydat=`date | cut -c5-10`
find DIR_PATH/START.*.*.*.ctl* -exec ls -ltr {} \; -mmin +200 | grep
"$todaydat" | awk -F" " {'print $9'}

now i am trying to extract files arriving today ( say apr 4) and those arrived y'day ( say apr 3)
can anyone please give me any suggestions.

thanks

Use the -mtime (Modified Time) argument in the find statement.

Code:

 todaydat=`date | cut -c5-10` 
find DIR_PATH/START.*.*.*.ctl* -mtime 1 -exec ls -ltr {} \; -mmin +200 | grep 
"$todaydat" | awk -F" " {'print $9'}

1 = Yesterday, 2 the day before etc...
+1 = all days yesterday and before.

Hello.,

i am doing this;

todaydat=`date | cut -c5-10`

find DIR_PATH/START.*.*.*.ctl* -exec ls -ltr {} \; -mtime -2 -mmin +200 | grep "$todaydat" | awk -F" " {'print $9'}

This is giving me only the files arrived today ( Apr 4) but i am also looking for files arrived Apr 4 and Apr 3rd.

can you please suggest me;

thanks

Hello

i am using these ( from man pages in Unix)
yesterdaydat=date -d "yesterday" | cut -c5-10
Apr 3

todaydat=date | cut -c5-10
Apr 4

now i am trying to use the output of both the above commands to extract the files arrived today and yesterday. can you please give me a suggestion;

find DIR_PATH/START.*.*.*.ctl* -exec ls -ltr {} \; -mmin +200 | grep
"$todaydat" | awk -F" " {'print $9'}

thanks a bunch

mtime -2
will find last 48 hours which could include the day before yesterday e.g.

Code:

# ls -l
total 5
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 288 Apr  5 10:34 .
drwxrwxrwt  20 root root 864 Apr  5 10:31 ..

Try this instead (and you don't need grep "$todaydat")

Code:

# touch -t 200604032359.59 /tmp/reffile.$$
# find . -newer /tmp/reffile.$$ -mmin +200 -exec echo {} \;
./f3
./f4
./f5
./f6
./f7
# rm /tmp/reffile.$$

OR

Code:

# yd=$(date -d "yesterday"|cut -c 5-10)
# td=$(date |cut -c 5-10)
# find . -mtime -2 -mmin +200 -ls | egrep "$yd|$td" | awk '{print $11}'
./f3
./f4
./f5
./f6
./f7
