change it to an alias. at least you wouldn't need to type the entire
line out.

Hi all,
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.
So far I've got this:
find . -printf "%Cd-%Cm-%CY\t%h/%f\n" | grep '^06-07-2004' | perl -pe 's/^.*\t//;'
Which is *hideous*. Tell me there's a better way. And I don't mean by
substituting 'sed' for 'perl -pe'.
James.
