Figure out how many days ago 01may2007 was, and how many days ago 01apr2007 way. Eg: $ date +%j # today 241 $ date -d 2007-05-01 +%j 121 $ date -d 2007-04-01 +%j 091 So April lies between 120 and 150 days ago. So: find . -name "url*.0" -mtime +120 -mtime -150 See "man date" and "man find" for details.
