I'm thinking that there has to be some way to do this with find maybe? I
just reviewed the man pages and didn't find the option I was looking for,
but maybe some modification on the line:
find . -newer "your.oldest.1999.file.here" -ok mv {} /home/darryl/test \;
Gotta be a better way, but I thought I'd throw that up as food for thought?
Good luck,
John
