EDIT---
Updated to take care of "*", here is the code and sample use of the script:
Code:
admin@unix1:/home/admin/scripts$./find1 name "*.txt"
./test1/a.txt
./a.txt
./b.txt

Code:
admin@unix1:/home/admin/scripts$cat find1
### (script name = rmf.sh)
 #!/bin/ksh -x
 #$1 - name of option
 #$2 - pattern of filename or age of file
tmp=`echo "$2" | sed 's/\"//'`
if [ "$1" == "name" ]; then
    optn="-name"
else
    optn="-mtime"
fi
find . -type f $optn "$tmp" -print

Regards,
Tayyab
