Hello,
I am trying to list file names in a folder and sub folders
starting from a modified date that I will give to today in
the command line in windows 2000. How can I do that?
Thanks,
cT.

Do you mean list all files in a folder and sub-folders
that have been modified today?

One convenient way of doing this is to use a command line interpreter
which knows about date ranges. 4NT from JPSoft does. This is how I list
file which have been modified today: "DIR /[d-0]". To list files which
have been modified since Sep. 12, 2003, one would use:
DIR /[d2003-09-12] (regardless of locale settings).

4NT's date ranges are documented at
<http://jpsoft.com/help/dateranges.htm>

Other command processors might require more elaborate methods.

Yes. If possible, I want to give range like from two days
ago up to now.

If you download FORFILES.EXE (free) from Microsoft, you can
do something like the following example, which lists all of
the *.cmd files in directory c:\cmd\demo that are 35 days old
or newer:

- - - - - - - - - - begin screen capture - - - - - - - - - -
<Win2000> c:\cmd>forfiles -pc:\cmd\demo -m*.cmd -d+35 -c"cmd /c echo @FDATE @FILE"
20030822 DeleteProfiles.cmd
20030824 dumpvars.cmd
20030831 ShowFolderSpace.cmd
20030828 OldCreateDirStructure.cmd
20030829 month.cmd
20030830 ReadAndEcho.cmd
20030917 ExtractIPAddresses.cmd
20030922 FixMySpreadsheet.cmd
20030924 ValidDrives.cmd
- - - - - - - - - - end screen capture - - - - - - - - - -

You can download FORFILES.EXE from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/y2kfix/x86/
