# Find newer or older than:
From man find:
-newerXY reference
Compares the timestamp of the current file with reference. The reference argument is normally the name of a file (and one of its timestamps is used for the comparison) but it may also be a string describing an absolute time. X and Y are placeholders for other letters, and these letters select which time belonging to how reference is used for the comparison.
a The access time of the file reference
B The birth time of the file reference
c The inode status change time of reference
m The modification time of the file reference
t reference is interpreted directly as a time
Example:
- find -newermt "mar 03, 2010" -ls
- find -newermt yesterday -ls
- find -newermt "mar 03, 2010 09:00" -not -newermt "mar 11, 2010" -ls
# exclude tmp and scripts directories from find
- find . -type f -name "*_peaks.bed" ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./scripts/*"
