Okay,
apparently not quite so simple.
is find run within quotation marks?
what is the difference between newy atime and ctime?
If I am following, find will share all the files within the specified
window, lets say I want files from 12 may 2026 to 15 may 2026?

Yo need "find" command and its -newerXY or -mtime options.
find . -maxdepth 1 -newermt 2026-05-01 ! -newermt 2026-05-10 -ls
Meaning: The "m" in "-newermt" means modification time. It finds files
newer than 2026-05-01 but not newer than 2026-05-10. It is also possible
to use relative times in days, with -mtime option:
find . -maxdepth 1 -mtime -20 -mtime +5 -ls
Meaning: never than 20 days ago but older than 5 days ago.
