Unable to find files, those can be present anywhere in the directory tree,based on its creation date
Hi

I am unable to find files, those are present anywhere in the same directory tree, based on the creation date. I need to find the files with their path, as I need to create them in another location and move them. I need some help with a script that may do the job.

Please help
