Hello friends,

I have so many files in one folder. i want to move/delete some files which is created in perticular date, it is very difficult to move/delete one by one files. If i use *.* all files are moving which i dont want..

thanking you in advance...

Hi Vinay,

I know there are probably easier ways to do what I think you want, but here's what popped into my head;

for i in $(ll|awk '$6 ~/mmm/ && $7 ~ /dd/ {print $9}')
do
rm $i
done

The "mmm" is for the month and the "dd" is for the day. And you could subsitute "mv" for the "rm".

Beers,

robert

H,

ls -lrt > x

vi x

remove the name of the which u dont want to delete.

save and quit

cut -c59- x > x1

vi x1

:%s/^/rm"space"

save and quit

sh -x x1

Hi Vinay:

To find/remove/move files for a particular date, you could do (for example):

# touch -mt 200904010000.00 /tmp/ref1
# touch -mt 200904012359.59 /tmp/ref2
# find /path -xdev -type f -newer /tmp/ref1 -a ! -newer /tmp/ref2 -exec rm {} +

Regards!

Hi Vinay,

Just use;


mv `ls -lrt|grep "June 19" |awk '{print $9}'`
/test
this will all files dated june 19 to folder /test..
