Re: How to read list of files based on date ?

You can get the names of every file in a directory with the readdir command

opendir (DIR,"./");
@files = readdir DIR;
[download]

And the stat command gives you access to the details of a file

foreach $file (@files){
if ( -f $file){
my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime,
+$blksize,$blocks)= stat($file);
push (@wanted) $file if ((time() - $mtime) < (24*60*60);
}
}
[download]

Instead of stat() and calculating the age in days yourself, that is returned by the -M operator. `my @wanted = grep -f $_ && -M _ < 1, @files;` [download] or something close to that.	[reply] [d/l]
