How to check logs greater than certain duration using grep?

Question

grep -lw  -e '0123456789' application.log_2023-07-*

I want logs greater than 2023-07-*, how do I achieve it?

Similar Question:

In your case, does greater than 2023-07-* includes July (greater and equal), or only starting from August (08)? Also, does it have to be based on the file name, or by the file's last change/modification time, regardless of the name? — aviro, Aug 08 '23 at 08:29
includes july. only name nothing to do with modification time. KISS. — achhainsan, Aug 08 '23 at 08:58

You'll need to use at least two patterns (in the same line), one for 7-9 and one for 10-22.

application.log_2023-0[7-9]-* application.log_2023-1[0-2]-*

If you also want the same command to work at the next year(s), also add wildcard for the year.

application.log_202[4-9]-*-*

does [7-9] includes 7 and 9? – achhainsan Aug 08 '23 at 11:06
@achhainsan Yes, it does. It's identical to [789]. – Kusalananda Aug 08 '23 at 11:21
