Hi There -

I've been reading this forum for a while and am interested in writing a few scripts, one being an auto backup for certain file types. Can I use the Date Modified in the Finder to help me put those files in a list to be duplicated? If so, what's the best method? I have a modicum of programming experience (JavaScript, HTML, VisualBasic, etc.) but AppleScript kind of confuses me. Thanks
This uses a command from the Akua Sweets scripting additions to extract
files from a container based on file type and modification date:
set fileList to the entries in (choose folder) [optn-L]
whose types are in {"SPn3"} [optn-L]
that were modified after (current date) - (2 * days) [optn-L]
to a depth of -1 as alias
(Where you see "", substitute the AppleScript continuation character.)
