Just move to the directory which contains all jpg files and then use *.jpg instead of face.jpg If you want to search recursively for all JPG files in a directory and this operation, you can try following examples: <code> find . -iname \*.jpg | xargs touch find . -iname \*.jpg | xargs touch -d '1 Jan 2000 00:01' find . -iname \*.jpg | xargs touch -d '31 Dec 2001' find . -iname \*.jpg | xargs touch -d '11:59:59' </code> Hope this helps you!

So you can't get it from Linux. Alternately if you are the one who is creating the file using a script or something, you can store the time stamp and file name in a separate file.
