yeah, you can do that. That's what I originally planned to do. You need a '-a' to make it work. Find has a '-daystart' to make both of those options be rounded to day boundaries, but I'm really looking for something where I can actually specify the date, rather than having to actually think about how many days ago it was. It'd be straightforward to write, so I guess I'll write a function and add it to my .bashrc. I'm just astonished that find doesn't provide some mechanism for this on its own. Thanks for the help, everyone. James. -- James Gregory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
