Hi all,

I'm wondering how you can use the dir command to list the files that were created (for example) the last 10 days.

I'm currently using the following command, where you of course can easily check the latest files created, but it would be easy if it displays only the files made the last 10 days.

dir /s /o:d > c:\dirlog.txt

Thanks :) .

Add a /p switch

Wont truncate it to 10 days, but will go page by page instead.

Thanks, but when I use the /p switch I don't see any difference in the result. What am I missing ?
