Help to locate the files

I m new to the linux environment.Help me with ur suggestions.

How can i obtain the file names alone from ls -ltr output??
And those files should have been created before three months and earlier than that..

Code:
find . -mtime +90

will return the files that are older than 3 months.
This will return the 3 months older file from the current directory.
If you want to extract the file names alone from the ls -lrt output use the following command
Code:
ls -lrt | tr -s ' '| sed '1d'| cut -d' ' -f 9

Using find command we can get the filename before created 3 months. I will give the modified file. not created file.
Do you want modified file or created file?

See the following command.
Code:
find . -mtime +90

You can't get the file created date.
