In Unix how to list all directories created before a specified date?

Question

In Unix, how can I list all directories created before a specific date (March 6 2013)?

I do not need to do this recursively.

The present working directory has 70000 folders and I just need to cat out the name of the directories with a create date before 3/16/2013 to text file.

`man find` is your friend. You can find some inspiration in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/158044/how-to-use-find-to-search-for-files-created-on-a-specific-date — Fredrik Pihl, Apr 18 '13 at 16:07
I agree that the question would be *better suited* at unix but this kind of question has been asked and been answered on SO since then dawn of the site... — Fredrik Pihl, Apr 18 '13 at 16:23
You can use find command. I think [this][1] may help. [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/158044/how-to-use-find-to-search-for-files-created-on-a-specific-date — sigmalha, Apr 18 '13 at 16:24
I came up with this: find -type d -mtime +43 but only need 1 level — user1526912, Apr 18 '13 at 16:54
