How to list/copy/move/delete/etc all the files within a directory within specific dates range

[Yaboto]

Hi,

The files are so many that you cannot even #cd to the directory talkless of #ll.

To trim down the directory contents, i have decided to #mv all the oldest files by specifying some years.

Please advice on the syntax and how to go about it in general.

Thanks!

   I'd use "find".  The "-exec <command> \;" option lets you do almost
anything with the selected file(s).  See, for example, the following
