Help with Find All/Copy Script

Hi Gang, I am an old unix user and just recently returned in the flavor of a Mac. I have tons of pictures in the .orf format and would like to write a script to:

Search the Hard drives for that file type
Then, depending on date, copy it to a specific folder
If there is an exact copy, only keep one

How hard is this to do? Many thanks. I am very happy to be away from MS again!
