Not very clear if you resolved the problem, but from your first request you can try the following,

Code:
#!/bin/sh

cd /path/to/main_folder
mkdir new_subfolder

find . -type f -mtime -265 | while read file
 do
    newname="$file".txt
    expage "$file" >"$newname"
    echo "Expaged $file to $newname"
    cp -p "$newname" new_subfolder/
    # mv "$newname" new_subfolder/
 done

Change the no. of days ( 265 ) to whatever number you need.
