It even finds files that haven't been created yet? Fantastic! ;-)
Happens every year at the end of Summer Time.
This script will show that Finder knows what "tomorrow" is, and also
provides a file for the above example to find:
Happens every year at the end of Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time).
And this script demonstrates that Finder knows what "tomorrow" is (and
makes a file which the snippet would find):
property aFolderName : "Date Test"
tell application "Finder"
(* Handy for testing but too dangerous to post
if folder aFolderName of startup disk exists then
delete folder aFolderName of startup disk
end if
*)
set finderFolder to make new folder at startup disk with properties
{name:aFolderName} --unwrap line
set view of container window of finderFolder to name
end tell
set theFolder to (path to startup disk as string) & aFolderName
set theFile to theFolder & ":Time Flies"
open for access file theFile with write permission
write "Whee!" to file theFile
close access file theFile
tell application "Finder"
set modification date of alias theFile to ((current date) + 1 * days)
activate
open finderFolder
end tell
