Hello,

In unix what is the command to delete files created on a particular date.  
for example: I have a list of files in a directory  
Nov 8 08:30 abc  
Nov 8 17:00 xyz  
Nov 9 12:30 test  
Nov 9 14:45 test2  
Nov 9 18:15 quick  
Nov 10 07:20 quick2  
Nov 11 19:00 quick3

Now i would like to delete file quick2 generated on Nov 10..... what would be the command???

To list out  
$ ls -l|grep "Nov 10" |awk '{print $9}'

To delete  
$ rm `ls -l|grep "Nov 10" |awk '{print $9}'`
