Oh, and by the problem is solved? I remembered the file name laughs.
Thanks everyone, I do mean that sincerely.
The book reference alone is worth all I learned by asking.

David,
I have not needed to relocate a lost file name on my shellworld account in
more than 25 years.
Meaning this is the first time ever, and why I reached for a tool I felt
added nothing whatsoever to the infrastructure here.
The problem has been solved in any case.

Well at least I guessed that shellworld is the one involved here.

That's why I included instruction on how to run the attachment
I posted without having to put it into whatever shell configuration
you have. The bash -c command first sources the saved attachment,
and then it runs it with the three arguments, piping the potentially
voluminous output into less.

Sorry, I don't understand "situation", whether it's to do with your
having to search for a file you created during a certain time
interval, or whether it's to do with your shell account, about which
I know the same as a few days ago, ie precious little.
Cheers,
David.
