to copy all files in /dir1 modified within the last 5 days to /dir2:

$ find /dir1 -mtime -5 | xargs -I {} cp {} /dir2

if the filenames have whitespace in them, you can use this trick:

$ find /dir1 -mtime -5 -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} cp {} /dir2

for more details on selecting by time:

$ man find

pay particular attention to the options -atime, -amin, -ctime, -cmin,  
-mtime, -mmin, and -daystart.
