Hi,


ls -ltr is good one to if you want to work in one directory. ( not all system)
You see al but on the top you see the last created file's.
The solution from our colleague is beter one but you can use this one to see witch files are as last created.

Thanks for the response,

I have one more question. Is there any way to list out the files that has been created on a particular date. Say for instance there are 100s of files in a particular directory and I want to list the files that were created on Oct 17th.

Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this.

Thnaks,
Andy

ls -al | grep "Oct 10"

Andy,

Grep and ls should work:

ls -l /dirname |grep 'Oct 17'

Be forewarned that a single digit day will have two spaces between month and day.

I mean grep for "Oct 10"!

[Uday_S_Ankolekar]

I can't type, grep -i "oct 17" or whatever date :)

Andy ( Anand)

for a particulare date in a sub directory I would use is awk

ls -l | awk '{if ($6 == "Oct" && ($7 == "17" ) print $NF,}'

will give you the list of fiels created for that date.

if you want you can > to a file and use that as a argument for you work.
