FileSearch - By Date

[Home Bunny 0]

Hi,

Is there an alternative to 'FileFindFirstFile',

that can handle only files created after a specified date ?

$Search = FileFindFirstFile($SourceFolder & "\*.chp")

Running trough 8700 files with 'FileFindFirstFile' takes 4 minutes, and there are only 5 relevant files ...

Regards,

Hi,

try this

Thx SmOke_N & Xenobiologist for your prompt repleys.

altough the script off SmOke_N worked faster, i've used the coding off Xenobiologist (top one) as this worked recurs.

Timings for 8700 files with 35 files the last 30 days:

FileFindFirstFile: 3 min

_GetFilesFolder_Rekursiv: 1 min

Thanks !!!!!!!
