Does anyone know how to list or search for files by a specified date in UNIX or Linux from the command line? The closest thing I could figure out is

find /filepath/ -name "file" -ctime +1
(or -atime or -mtime)

However, this only gives files older than a certain # of days. I need to specify the date, and I didn't really see how to do so from the man pages for "find" or "ls".

Thanks for the idea. That worked like a charm. I haven't been at the UNIX or Linux command line in a while, so sorry for the newbishality.
