Need to list the files

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,

For Example: I have one month files like from August 1 to August31.

I want to list only from August 1 to august 15 files.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Mani

The following should work for the specific case you outline

ls $(for i in $(seq 1 15); do printf "August\ 2d" $i;done)

seq just provides a sequence
printf bears further study, as it allows you format your output quite flexibly.

CORRECTION Sorry reviewed your question and the space is present in all cases rather than just as padding.
you could get away with

ls $(for i in $(seq 1 15); do echo "August\ $i";done)

Do you mean that these files have such names or they were modified in this period?

Valid question from yazu, If this is the case, try running

 ls -l| egrep '2011-08-(0[1-9]|1[0-5])'

Note: Please see above there are files availables under Aug 31,Sep 1,2,3,4

I want to list only for Aug31,Sep1,2,3. Not for Sep 4th.

I hope that will be clear

Thanks,
Mani
