Linux find file by date using the date command Gnu find as various command line option to list files by a modification and access date/time stamp.
In order to ls by date or list Unix files in last modifed date order use the -t flag which is for 'time last modified'. or to ls by date in reverse date order use the -t flag as before but this time with the -r flag which is for 'reverse'.
To sort by time in Linux ls command, we can use the -lt option. These two options will cause ls to sort files by modified time, with the most recently modified files appearing first and output is in long format. -t Sort by descending time modified (most recently modified first).
Filter Files by Name in a Directory Using grep This is the easiest way to find files (and folders) on Linux systems. grep is a program that is shipped with all Linux and FreeBSD systems (and even macOS). grep is used for filtering data using regular expressions.
touch --date "yyyy-mm-dd" /tmp/start touch --date "yyyy-mm-dd" /tmp/end find /my/path -type f -newer /tmp/start -not -newer /tmp/end or
ls -l | grep 'yyyy-mm-dd' If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
