On Linux/Unix machine how do I find files modified between a certain number of days ago ?
For example say between 2 and 5 days ago, not calendar dates but days ago from right now. So files modified more than 2 days ago, but not more than 5 days days ago. It would not return anything that was modified yesterday, for example.

    If you want to do it on the Unix command line, try using find with the -mtime option.

    Example:

    find /home -iname ".c" -mtime 2 -mtime -4
    

    will choose files modified two to four days ago.
