Hi,
The BSD find command has this feature:
-newer X Y file
True if the current file has a more recent last access time ( X = a),
change time ( X = c), or modification time ( X = m) than the last
access time ( Y = a), change time ( Y = c), or modification time ( Y
= m) of file. In addition, if Y = t, then file is instead interpreted
as a direct date specification of the form understood by cvs(1). Note
that -newermm is equivalent to -newer.
With this, you can avoid to create a temporary file, if you search
for all files of a given date:
# 7. July, MMDDHHMM
touch -t 07070000 ~/tmp/start
touch -t 07072359 ~/tmp/end
find -newer ~/tmp/start \! -newer ~/tmp/end
