Not exactly what you asked for, but maybe what you need:

	find pathname -mtime -days -exec ls -ld {} \;

where days is days age, not a date; e.g., if days is 4 this lists all files
in (and under) pathname that have been modified in the last 4 days.

You can also do that with find:

	find pathname -mtime -7 -mtime +5 -exec ls -ld {} \;

lists all files modified between 5 and 7 days ago.

If all you want is the file names, end the command line just before "-exec".
