Given a directory i'm looking for a bash one-liner to get a recursive list of all files with their size and modified time tab separated for easy parsing. Something like:
cows/betsy 145700 2011-03-02 08:27
horses/silver 109895 2011-06-04 17:43

Finding Files Modified on a Specific Date in Linux: You can use the ls command to list files including their modification date by adding the -lt flag as shown in the example below. The flag -l is used to format the output as a log. The flag -t is used to list last modified files, newer first.
Try any one of the following commands to see recursive directory listing: ls -R : Use the ls command to get recursive directory listing on Linux. find /dir/ -print : Run the find command to see recursive directory listing in Linux.
Use “-mtime n” command to return a list of files that were last modified “n” hours ago. See the format below for a better understanding. -mtime +10: This will find all files that were modified 10 days ago. -mtime -10: It will find all files that were modified in the last 10 days.
You can use stat(1) to get the information you want, if you don't want the full ls -l output, and you can use find(1) to get a recursive directory listing. Combining them into one line, you could do this:
# Find all regular files under the current directory and print out their
# filenames, sizes, and last modified times
find . -type f -exec stat -f '%N %z %Sm' '{}' +
If you want to make the output more parseable, you can use %m instead of %Sm to get the last modified time as a time_t instead of as a human-readable date.
