how to query timestamp

Is there a command to query the time stamp? I am working a script where
anything within the last 30 days will be moved to a folder and then
burnt to the cd. By running the script. The next month will delete the
files that where moved the previous month and move the new ones and burn
the new cd.

Do you have any ideas how I can query the time to do this? I have been
looking and trying a few things but no luck. I am not very familiar with
grep is that a possibility?

man find -> atime, ctime, mtime

I can't say which of the 3 would fit your needs.
