I'm using Vista OS. In playing around with a few commands to do what
you want, I discovered that at some point Microsoft has obsoleted XCOPY
in favor of ROBOCOPY. That's good for you, if you have it. It looks
like ROBOCOPY has the exact options you might be looking for. From the
console prompt, type robocopy /? for the command parameters. It
can supposedly include or exclude files based on date or age of the
file. Check the /MAXAGE /MINAGE /MAXLAD and /MINLAD options.<br>
<br>
I sorry I can't spend any more time on it right now, but this might
help to get you started. Note that if you use the -L parameter, no
files will actually be copied, so you are free to process the whole
file system without actually making any copies. Essentially you can
build a list without making any actual file copies.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
