Excellent point jhartzen - thanks for the clarification. &nbsp;This is a minor point, but the syntax of your last command needs some spaces and another quote, i.e.<br />
<br />
ls -laR|grep 'Dec 1 ' | awk '{ print $9 }' | xargs tar cvf $TARFILE<br />
<br />
Yet another way to accomplish this is the following:<br />
<br />
ls -laR| grep 'Dec 1 ' | cut -c55- | xargs tar cvf $TARFILE<br />
<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
