Find files on Windows modified after a given date using the command line

Question

I need to search a file on my disk modified after a given date using the command line.

For example:

   dir /S /B WHERE modified date > 12/07/2013
         


        

Answer 1

The forfiles command works without resorting to PowerShell. The article is here:

Find files based on modified time

Microsoft Technet documentation: forfiles

For the example above:

forfiles /P  /S /D +12/07/2013

• /P The starting path to search
• /S Recurse into sub-directories
• /D Date to search, the "+" means "greater than" or "since"
