unix - Regex & ls or find -
i need select directories between periods of 20140729 - 20140921.
the directories this.
20140729_154208 20140814_221350 20140829_215623
what best method this?
thanks
using find
in order find files modified within range, if creation time of last file in directory matches directory name, easiest way create files @ boundaries of range , use -newer
predicate.
touch -t 201407290000 start touch -t 201409210000 stop find . -newer start \! -newer stop -type d
(i know not how work dates within regex
, hope have time learn)
using awk
yeah, why not using awk
instead of building static regex
match case?
pass find or ls result awk
little program checking result between stop
, start
(nb: find
had substr(3,10)
comparison):
find . |awk -v start=20140729 -v stop=20140921 \ '{ curr=substr($0, 3, 10); if (curr <= stop && curr >= start) { print $0 } }'
(it worked me on aix
, linux
)
