mv files by date

ACS_2 — Thu, 18 May 2000 15:25:31 GMT

How can I move a group of files that were all created on the same date? I have about 30 files that were created on the same date that I want to move to a different location. How can I do that without moving them 1 by 1?

find . -mtime (number of days back that the files were created) -exec ll {} ;

Once you verify that the listed files are correct use:

find . -mtime (days) -exec mv {} ;

Dont forget to escape the ";" at the end of the line.
