Hi @jeesshnasree !

Not sure what do you mean by this part of your post : 

Why dont you try using "find" command for the purpose something like this : 

find . -type f -newermt "2020-02-26"  ! -newermt "2020-03-07"   and same for 2024 files. 

Here 26th Feb in inclusive whereas the 7th Mar is exclusive.

In this case for loop will be complex wherein you have to apply awk and if as well to list the files as per your scenario. 

Refer : https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/find.1.html   search with newer
