[ILUG] rm a list of filenames

[ILUG] rm a list of filenames

OK, extreme newbie alert...there might even be a command for this, but....

I have a directory tree of print spoolfiles (all ascii) which has a
combination of files from last year and this year ... I want to delete all
the files with a year 2000 date... I can generate a list of these by using
'ls -l | grep 200' but the filename is in the right hand column...

e.g.
-rw-rw-r--   1 username group       2591 Mar 23 08:33 spool88848.din
-rw-rw-r--   1 username group      22218 Mar 23 09:19 spool88905.din
-rw-rw-r--   1 username group      11004 Apr 10  2000 spool88940.din
-rw-rw-r--   1 username group      15464 Mar 23 10:48 spool88993.din
-rw-rw-r--   1 username group       4359 Apr 10  2000 spool88994.din
-rw-rw-r--   1 username group       2663 Mar 23 10:59 spool89007.din
-rw-rw-r--   1 username group       2695 Apr 10  2000 spool89044.din
-rw-rw-r--   1 username group       2663 Mar 26 09:12 spool89198.din

I guess its an option in 'find' but looking at the man pages I cant see any
date functions, apart from the 'ctime' and 'atime' thingies.

Thanks for any suggestions
