using find

Good morning all
I have a question about using find.

how can find files modifed less than 12 days ago but more 5 days ago?

Hi,

I can't exactly answer your question but usually I use this command

find . /<path_to_folder>/arch_prod*.arc -ctime +5 -exec rm {} \;

against my testing Oracle servers to remove old archived log files.
The "-ctime +5" parameter causes the find command to search for files with change dates more than five days in the past.

Try this:

find . /<path_to_dir> \( -ctime -12 -a -ctime +5 \)
