View content of all files modified on certain date

I would like to print out the content of files in one directory. I want to see only the content of files that have been modified today. I tried this approach:

ls -lt | grep '6. Dez' | cat

Since it does not work, I am wondering what would be the correct way to do this?

Solution

  • To get files modified within last day, you can use:

    find . -mtime -1

    Then you can print them all with

    find . -mtime -1 -exec cat {} \;
