I just tried to use the 'find' command to locate for me all files on a
filesystem that were modified on a given date. I have just discovered
that this is a moderately difficult problem. 'man find' tells me that
there are atime, ctime and mtime options but they only let me specify
time relative to today in hours. I can see that I potentially could
construct a find query with these tools and judicious use of -a and '!',
but that can't be the simplest way.
Quickest way I found to do this (hacky but quick) was find . -ls | egrep "Jul 18"
I think all modern versions of find support '-ls', if yours doesn't, try '-exec ls -l {} \;' instead.
Remember that 'ls' pads the date, so "Jul 1" is "Jul 1" (two spaces).
