    I need to find all the documents created in the past week(.txt &.odt). I presume some variation of the Grep command will do the job nicely but I'm unable totailor it myself.

    Could someone here be kind enough to do it for me?

    This seems to work. Just tried it in my Download folder to see what changed since 13 Jan. Can't vouch for accuracy but it seems correct.

    ~/Downloads$ touch -d "13 jan 2010" date_marker
    ~/Downloads$ find . -newer date_marker
    .
    ./clamtk
    ./Old Jaunty Libsane
    ./Old Jaunty Libsane /libsane_1.0.19-23ubuntu7_amd64.deb
    ~/Downloads$

    Here's a starting point:
    Code:
    ls -al  | egrep 2010-01-'(1[8-9]|2[0-2])'
    Or just use the one Ocky mentioned from the cookbook, =)
