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

If you decide to use PowerShell, this will also work with time and date ranges:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object {($_.LastWriteTime -ge "04/15/2018 20:00:00") -and ($
_.LastWriteTime -lt "04/15/2018 21:00:00")}

To use a programmatic date or a Locale agnostic date time:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object {($_.LastWriteTime -ge (new-object System.DateTime 2018, 1, 10, 12, 30, 00)) -and ($_.LastWriteTime -lt (new-object System.DateTime 2018, 1, 14, 12, 15, 59))}

Where date and time are entered in increasing time specificity order:

Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second
