Today, we are using the ls command to find files created on a specific date.

However, there are caveats. See, we're using grep - which is a pattern recognition tool. If you have strings of characters that look like dates, grep will happily find those and include those in your results.

So, does it work? Quite probably... You shouldn't really be using spaces in your file names anyhow.


This is a very long article. It's really just playing around with the ls and grep command. Hopefully this will make you more comfortable with the commands and working in the terminal. But, yeah... It's a pretty long article. It might even be the longest article on the site.
