    hi all :

    Many thank you for those who gave suggestions :

    Look like using "ls" and "xargs" solved my problem since i am looking
    for one-line solution.

    ls -l |grep 20030620 -> this command worked

    But the rule of thumb is to organized those files into sub-directories
    as suggested by Tim Cutts and Joerg Bruehe.

    I will keep the option of changing and kernel recompilation as last
    resort.

    Thanks again !

    cheers
