I'd use my usual collection of shell scripts. What do you mean by "short format" - just the file name? listall -S | grep -- -12-28 | cut -c 33- listall brings the listing into a defined format on which you can use grep and cut. Will fail (like just about everything else) on filenames containing newlines.
