Files in current folder modified today

find . -mtime -1 -type f

if you just want the filename:

find . -mtime -1 -type f printf "%f\n"

-1 can be changed to another value to go back further

find . -iname "fidnme*"

find . -type f -name "name_*"

Delete all files more than M days in current folder

find . -type f -mtime +M -exec rm {} \;
