View content of all files modified on certain date

Question

I would like to print out the content of files in one directory. I want to see only the content of files that have been modified today. I tried this approach:

ls -lt | grep '6. Dez' | cat

Since it does not work, I am wondering what would be the correct way to do this?

Don't parse `ls`. Use `find`. See `man find`, search for `-mtime`. — devnull, Dec 06 '13 at 11:34
Aside from other problems, consider a file named `6. Dez` that was probably created an year back. Your approach would find it, no? — devnull, Dec 06 '13 at 11:53

To get files modified within last day, you can use:

find . -mtime -1

Then you can print them all with

find . -mtime -1 -exec cat {} \;
