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.
