Thanks for the help ,our main aim is to create a automated ansible script
which takes multiple path (hard coded) and with find module it should check 
files older
than 7 days and should exclude few directories or files and should compress 
the other files.

But somehow find and exclude path with time stamp is not working

I am trying multiple approaches but not successful but no luck ,any hint 
would be helpful
