Command line syntax to search last weeks files only

Question

Hi there,

I am trying to use the command line to search all files in a directory that were modified in the past week but the only option I can see is to manually enter the date each time or enter "now". I need to schedule this weekly and don't want to have to manually amend the script each time.

Cheers

Not sure which product you're using but with FileLocator Pro you can adjust dates using terms like "today -1 week +2 days", e.g.

filelocatorpro.exe -d "c:\search\folder" -ma "today -1 week" -o "c:\output.txt"

Agent Ransack does not support date adjustments, i.e. you can only use a specific date or the relative values of 'today' and 'now'.
