How to search for a folder named with a date in shell?

You can use the find command in Shell with the -name option and wildcards to search for folders named with dates.

Here are some examples of commands:

  1. Search for folders named with dates in the current directory.
find . -type d -name "2022-01-01"
  1. Search for folders named with dates in the current directory and its subdirectories.
find . -type d -name "2022-01-01"
  1. Search for folders named with dates under the specified directory.
find /path/to/directory -type d -name "2022-01-01"

Please note that the date naming in the above example is just an illustration. You need to replace it with the actual date you are looking for. Also, the “-type d” option specifies to only search for directories, and the “-name” option is used to specify the name to match.
