By compress I take it to mean you want to compress each file:
Feb 2011
Code:
touch -t 201101302359.59  start_dummy
touch -t 201102282359.59  end_dummy
find /path/to/directory \( -newer start_dummy -a ! - newer end_dummy \)  |
while read fname
do
     compress $fname
     # or use
     # gzip $fname
done

Apologies for not being clear

let us take a directory which contain 100 files. out of which there are 40 files belonginf to the month of FEbruary. I need a single script which should pick all the feb files and compress them(Instead of manually compressing each file one by one)
