How to filter the output of ls command to display only files created in February?

Question

For Linux OS, How to filter the output of ls command in terminal to display only files created in February?

Although it is related to superuser, there are a lot of answers to question. I would go with `ls -l` ? `| grep Feb`. I add the question mark because this will setup your time. Here you can print based on modification time, creation time, etc. It's up to you, read the man pages. — jiveturkey, Apr 20 '15 at 13:58

touch --date "yyyy-mm-dd" /tmp/start
touch --date "yyyy-mm-dd" /tmp/end
find /my/path -type f -newer /tmp/start -not -newer /tmp/end

or

ls -l  | grep 'yyyy-mm-dd'

You can simple grep the output to filter out only Feb files

ls -l | grep "Feb"

If you want to filter out files in the sub directories also then

ls -l -R | grep "Feb"
