Note that unless you happen to be sitting in /home/emd/Desktop when you run this script, mkdir will create 1234 in whatever directory you're sitting in; not necessarily /home/emd/Desktop.

It has...

find /home/emd/Desktop/n007/M007/ -type f -name "A2014*" -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t /home/emd/Desktop/1234

If you use the -0 option to xargs, you need to -print0 from find. And, the {} in xargs works only if you specified the replace_string with the -I option.

Try this wildcard A20140205.1[3-8]*

edit: You can avoid the need for touch and xargs buy getting tar to read filenames from stdin

find /tmp/data -type f -name "A20140205.1[3-8]*" | tar -c -v...

Yes, obviously. It must be past my bed time...

Or simply -print
{
date +"Following files removed at %c:"
find /tmp/test/CC[12]* /tmp/file/Int* -type f -mtime +3 -exec rm -f {} + -print
} > rm.log

First, note that putting these three commands on one line with no command separator will NOT do what you want.
Second, you don't need to invoke find three times to do this (unless you run into...

It works!
You'll get errors if there are sub-directories. These can be suppressed by -type f or ! -type d.
Further, Unix find offers + instead of \; for -exec; if the command supports multiple...

-eq is a numeric comparison. Use = for strings:

if [ "$Dt" = Default ];

If script.sh contains your function definition and the following:
if [ $# -eq 1 ]
then # Use given argument as copy date:
copy_date="$1"
else # Use yesterday as copy date:
...

16:00:00 to 16:00:30, or to 16:30:00? You only have 1 value every 5 minutes in your example, so 30 second averages would be a bit odd.

Assuming it's half-hourly, you could do something like:
$...

Not sure what you need explained, so here's it all:awk '/^..:[0-5][05]/ {split($1,ti,":") # if the record starts with any two chars:00 - 55 in 05 increments
