script to view files based on date

Comment:

I have a UNIX box where in files are created every a5 minutes. I need to write a shell script which will take in the date as parameter and return me all files created on that day. Also I will like it to show me only files which have a size greater than 0 i.e. non-empty files. how do I go abt this? I am new to UNIX

Do you mean then if the script runs at 0300, you only want to see the files that exist from midnight, 0000, to 0300? You'll need the find command and to test if a file is greater than zero length look at test's -s flag.
