Lets start from the easiest to the hardest .. some simple example is best shown here .. check the man pages for details of the options I used ..
1) Sort file in ls output by file size
# ls -l | sort -k 5,5
2) Sort file in ls output by owner
# ls -l | sort -k 3,3
3) Copy all files dated "Apr 25" (year not taken into account here) to /tmp.
# for file in `ls -l|grep "Apr 25"|awk '{print $9}'
>do
>cp $file /tmp
>done
4) Remove all files dated between Apr25 2002 and Apr29 2002.
# touch 04240101 /tmp/refa
# touch 04290101 /tmp/refb
# find . \( -newer refa -a ! -newer refb \) -exec rm {} \;
5) Copy all files dated between Apr25 2002 and Apr29 2002 to remote machine called "mars" and put them in /tmp. Use the same date reference as in 4.
# (find . -xdev \( -newer refa -a ! -newer refb \) | cpio -coax) | remsh mars "cd /tmp ; cpio -icdmuxla"

Make sure test them thoroughly ..
