You need to use the grep command/egrep command to filter out info:
$ ls -lt /etc/ | grep filename
ls -lt /etc/ | grep 'Jun 20'
A better and recommended solution is the find command:
find . -type f -ls |grep '2017'
find . -type f -ls |grep 'filename'
find /etc/ -type f -ls |grep '25 Sep'
find Command Example
If you need a specific date range many days ago, than consider using the find command. In this example find files modified between Jan/1/2007 and Jan/1/2008, in /data/images directory:
touch --date "2007-01-01" /tmp/start
touch --date "2008-01-01" /tmp/end
find /data/images -type f -newer /tmp/start -not -newer /tmp/end
You can save list to a text file called output.txt as follows:
find /data/images -type f -newer /tmp/start -not -newer /tmp/end > output.txt
Linux find file by date using the date command
Gnu find as various command line option to list files by a modification and access date/time stamp.
Say hello to -newerXY option for find command
The syntax is as follows:
find /dir/ -type f -newerXY 'yyyy-mm-dd'
find /dir/ -type f -newerXY 'yyyy-mm-dd' -ls
The letters X and Y can be any of the following letters:
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
To see all files modified on the 24/Sep/2017 in the current directory:
find . -type f -newermt 2017-09-24
## pass the -ls option to list files in ls -l format ##
find . -type f -newermt 2017-09-24 -ls
OR
find . -type f -newermt 2017-09-24 ! -newermt 2017-09-25
find . -type f -newermt 2017-09-24 ! -newermt 2017-09-25 -ls
Sample outputs:
956 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 910 Sep 24 11:42 ./init.d/.depend.boot
958 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 876 Sep 24 11:42 ./init.d/.depend.start
959 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 783 Sep 24 11:42 ./init.d/.depend.stop
To see all files accessed on the 25/Sep/2017:
$ find . -type f -newerat 2017-09-25 ! -newerat 2017-09-26
OR
$ find . -type f -newerat 2017-09-25 ! -newerat 2017-09-26 -ls
List all *.c file accessed 30 days ago
Type the following command:
find /home/you -iname "*.c" -atime -30 -type f
OR
find /home/you -iname "*.c" -atime -30 -type f -ls
List all *.c file accessed more than 30 days ago
Type the following command:
find /home/you -iname "*.c" -atime +30 -type f
OR
find /home/you -iname "*.c" -atime +30 -type f -ls
List all *.c file accessed exactly 30 days ago
Type the following command:
find /home/you -iname "*.c" -atime 30 -type f
OR
