Hi
I want to automate a task in the finder. I want Finder to find every item of a
folder and its subfolders whose the modification date is greater than a
specific Date.
I would like to know:
1-) If it's posssible
2-) What are the statements.
I've tried it the following ways :
1-)
tell application "Finder"
set MyFolder to folder "Disk:Test:"
set FoldersList to {}
set SpecificDate to date "Thursday, November 05, 2002 12:55:15 PM"
set FoldersList to ( every item whose modification date is greater than
SpecificDate ) of entire contents of MyFolder
end tell
2-)
tell application "Finder"
set MyFolder to folder "Disk:Test:"
set FoldersList to {}
set SpecificDate to date "Thursday, November 05, 2002 12:55:15 PM"
set FoldersList to ( every item of entire contents of MyFolder ) whose
modification date is greater than SpecificDate
end tell.
In both cases I should get all items of Myfolder whose modification date is
greater than "Thursday, November 05, 2002 12:55:15 PM".
But I get all items or a wrong result.
I would like to know what's wrong with those statements
I'm using Mac OS 9.x
Any help will be appreciated !
Thank you
