find modified file since a specific date

Posted by wei (wei), 4 May 2007

Hi

i wish to locate all modified file from a specifc date to current date, any idea on how to do it ?

thanks

In Perl, have a look at this example that finds the largest files in or under a directory. The -M rather than -s flag lets you check on how long ago the file was last modified rather than its size.

On a Unix / Linux bot, though, I would probably use teh operating systems's find command rather than rolling my own.
