hi all :

Many thank you for those who gave suggestions :

Look like using "ls" and "xargs" solved my problem since i am looking
for one-line solution.

ls -l |grep 20030620 -> this command worked

But the rule of thumb is to organized those files into sub-directories
as suggested by Tim Cutts and Joerg Bruehe.

I will keep the option of changing and kernel recompilation as last
resort.

Thanks again !

cheers
