RE: find by year
Hey, hey...
Now that is a proper solution to the search...
My dumb @ss solution works but if 2003- is in the file name it will be
listed as well...LoL
Guess that is what a newbie gets for trying to answer easy but hard
questions...heheheh.

The most precise way is to use the -newer function to compare it to
files that bracket your start and end of your search:
touch --date=2003-01-01 /tmp/start
touch --date=2004-01-01 /tmp/end
find . -newer /tmp/start -a ! -newer /tmp/end
