As Joerg said, we need more details, but here is a start:

Code:

touch -t YYYYMMDDHHMM TestFile
find . -newer TestFile -exec cp {} /OtherDir \;

Dear friends,
Thank you all for your reply.
I need to copy the files with time stamp newer than specific date.

for eg:
copy the files with timestamp greater than 05-Aug-2007.
i.e files with time stamp 06-Aug-2007,07-Aug-2007 like this.

Thanks once agian
