Here's some commands that should be pretty portable.
touch `TZ=CST7CDT date "+%m%d%H%M"` /path/to/file
find . -newer /path/to/file -type f | xargs cat > tmp.txt
Adjust the value of TZ to give the proper time in your locale. I'm in
Central Standard Time, which is normally expressed as CST6CDT, so I
added one to get "CST7CDT". This creates a file stamped exactly one
hour ago that find can use as a reference.
An alternative would be to write something in perl or your programming
language of choice.
