Solved Batch File - List files modified within last 7 days

[JDobbsy1987]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a batch file that will create a text file listing all the files within a folder that has been modified within the last 7 days, i thought this was going to be easy using some kind of switch that looks at the modified date but that doesn't seem to exist and i can't figure a way of doing it.

i have this script that will list files older than 7 days:

forfiles -p c:\ /s /m *.* /d -7 /c "cmd /c echo @file > c:\users\jdobbsy1987\desktop\list.txt"

and this cmd that will list all my files in in date order (newest first):

dir /s /o:-d

But can't seem to get anything to list files modified within the last 7 days.
It would need to look in subdirectories too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Just wanted to let you know i have now managed to get this sorted although it was with a powershell script as opposed to a batch script.

This is the script i have used:

dir "c:\users\jdobbsy1987\" | ? {$_.PSIsContainer} | ? {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)} | ConvertTo-Html Name | Set-Content \\server\share\New_Media.htm

Although this code is slightly different than i originally wanted as this converts the output to a htm file rather than a text file but if you did want to output to a text file then this would be the script:

dir "c:\users\jdobbsy1987\" | ? {$_.PSIsContainer} | ? {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)} | out-file \\server\share\New_Media.txt -width 150

Hope this helps others looking for the same thing
