 +==== Find and Copy Files Between Two Dates ====

 +Use **newermt** switch to **find** and copy files that are human readable times / dates from one place to another.

 +=== Files in Order ===
 +
 +Sometimes I have noticed files do not happen in order when doing command line things.  Using **xargs** and **sort** allows us to sort the input files so that the order is correct.

 +<code>
 +ls -v j080_202405* | sort | xargs cat > j080_overnight.jps
