Indeed, but there is way to do it automatically, without have to right the /full/path/to/

I want that he tar the file in the directory where he finds the file

That depends on the file/directory structure that you have. Are there one or many directories? Are there one or many matching files in each directory? Should one or all matching files be tarred together, within or across directories?

i have few directories


Code:
under /tmp/w/a 
files  test  2014 01 05
         test1 2014 01 08
         test3 2014 02 09
under /tmp/w/b
files  test6  2014 01 05
         test7 2014 02 08
         test8 2014 02 10

if i run
Code:
find /tmp/w/ -type f -newermt '2014-01-01' ! -newermt '2014-02-01' -print0 | tar czvf file01.tar.gz --null -T -

in /tmp , it will compress the files under /tmp/
but i pretend that files would be compress in their in directory that they are by month ,
this is the only detail that is missing
