find files by exact date!!??

[raydawg]

trying to get a command to find files that match a certain date, then run a command on them. i dont want to use find with atime,mtime,ctime because that gives all files greater or less then specified day...not exact.

so i came up with this command

ls -ltr | grep 'Jan 16' | xargs ??????

the grep command returns something like this

-rw-rw-r-- 1 me mygroup 0 Jan 16 09:44 myFile

so i need to figure how how to get xargs only to see "myFile" and not the whole line so i can run a command on it. how can I do this???
thanks

I believe if you do not specify a time with a minus (-) or plus (+) but just the number of days ago, for example: 30, it will give the date. Check the info on this site:

This can work too.
Little late to help you with your original problem I suppose!

ls -lR | grep '2007-' | awk '{ print $8 }'

ls -ltr | grep 'Jan 16' | xargs ??????
