[ale] THANKS to all who replied to "ls -rt | rm -i" problem, BUT...

[Joe Knapka]

Hi Courtney,

This worked for me just now, to interactively
remove files modified on March 15:

rm -i $(ls -l | grep 'Mar 15' | cut -d ' ' -f 9)

Per another comment, there doesn't seem to be
a standard way to find out a file's creation date.

Cheers,

-- JK
