you can achive your date-based move with the following commands. (But
beware, find reports also files in subdirectories, which will cause possible
problems with the mv command)
touch -t 10010000 limit_begin
touch -t 10312359 limit_end
find . -newer limit_begin -a ! -newer limit_end -a -type f -exec mv {}
/otherdir \;
if you have many subdirs you could use sed to handle your task. In this case
the strings limit_begin and limit_end must be unique in the output of
ll -tr.
for file in `ll -tr | sed -n '/limit_begin/,/limit_end/p' | sed -n '/^-/p' |
awk '{ print $9}'`
do
mv $file /otherdir
done
