touch -t YYMMDDhhmm.SS /tmp/timestamp
find directory -type f -newer /tmp/timestamp
rm /tmp/timestamp

You can use find...

touch –date "2012-11-07" /tmp/find_after
find / -newer /tmp/find_after
rm /tmp/find_after

Probably you are looking for this:

find . -type f -mtime 1

this above command will show you files modified 1 day ago from the current directory recursively.
