ubuntu：查找在特定日期更改的所有文件

Question

I would like to get list of all files changed at certain date (eg 11.1.2012) in Ubuntu.

find -mtime

works for days before, but I want files from exactly one day and want to do it more comfartable than by counting days back. Is there any way to do so?

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

you can use a little trick. Use the touch command to create two files with a modification date that includes the date you're searching for.

Example:

touch -t 201204080000 dummy1

touch -t 201204082359 dummy2

then you can use find as follows:

find /somedir/ ( -newer dummy1 -and ! -newer dummy2 )

This should work out well.
