        How about using this command
        
        
        ls –l | grep “yesterday’s date”
         
        Example
        ad117-11:/home # ls -l
        total 314810
        drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 168 Sep 12 18:14 .
        drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 432 Dec 9 09:08 ..
        -rw------- 1 root root 322048000 Oct 3 13:23 archive
        drwxr-xr-x 13 501 users 1360 Dec 5 13:24 eprints
        drwxr-xr-x 6 jai users 648 Dec 9 09:52 jai
        drwxr-xr-x 11 jai users 1000 Aug 1 04:02 mettus
        drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 208 Aug 29 15:09 temp
         
        ad117-11:/home # ls -l | grep 'Dec 9' //NOTE:
TAKE CARE OF SPACES
        drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 432 Dec 9 09:08 ..
        drwxr-xr-x 6 jai users 648 Dec 9 09:52 jai
        ad117-11:/home #
         
        There were only two files of Dec 9
        NOTE: Take care or spaces… Dec 10 has one space between “Dec”
and “10” while Dec 9 has two spaces between Dec and 9
         
         
        Hope this helps

        Subject: finding files modified yesterday
         
        Hello,
        I need to find all files in /somewhere that have been modified
yesterday.
        So far I use touch -t todays_date_0:00 /tmp/timestamp and find
-new /tmp/timestamp to find all files modified earlier than today.
        How can I filter out the files modified 2,3,4... days before?
        I should have a way that does not rely on certain TZ or LC*
settings.
        Regards,
        Holger
