find 4.1.20 takes a "-newer" option that lets me specify a file; find will then tell me about files that are newer than it. But I often want to find files that are newer than a particular date; in order to get what I want, I have to create a temporary file, and use "touch" to set its last-mod timestamp to the date that I want, and then give that temporary file's name to the "-newer" option. This seems a bit kludgy; it would be convenient if "find" could parse dates itself, and simply allow me to give the date I want as an argument.
This feature was implemented in the findutils-4.3.x code in CVS, yesterday. James. _______________________________________________ Bug-findutils mailing list Bug-findutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-findutils
