Command to list new files in a directory

[rekha]

Hi,

Is there any command in linux to list recursively all the files in a directory updated after certain date.

Hi,

To list todays files only:

Code: Select all

ls -al --time-style=+%D | grep `date +%D`

The parameters to the ls command here cause the datestamp to be output in a particular format. The cunning bit is that the output is then passed to grep. The grep parameter is itself a command , which substitutes the current date into the string to be matched.

You could easily modify it to search specifically for other dates, times, filesizes or whatever.
