Limited list of files

  • Subject: Limited list of files
  • From: Dale Saukerson <email@hidden>
  • Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 17:59:21 -0600
I want to get a list of the latest three or four items (either files or folders) by modification date within a folder. I can get a list of all the items, but I fail to create working syntax to restrict the list or parse out a few items.

What I want to do is peek into my folder of downloaded Info-mac digests and pop up a dialog or window showing the latest items. I'll teach myself to display the info, but I need help restricting the list.

Thanks,
