Default Copying Files Modified After MM/DD?YY To A Different Computer

I know how to get a list of "Files Modified After MM/DD/YYYY" using File
Explorer, but how do I copy them to another computer on the same network?

Thanks.

Share a directory and copy/paste your files?

They are not all in the same directory.

Not at a Win10 host to check but after you do the filter to list the
files, you can't hit Ctrl+A to select those files?

You could use robocopy.exe. Run "robocopy /?" in a command shell to get
information on how to use it. However, you don't give a date. You
specify the age in days using the /minage or /maxage arguments.

Alternatively you can use the xcopy command in a shell. It had a
/d:m-d-y argument to process files on or after the specified date.

Or is the detail about selecting the files not the critical issue and
instead you are really asking how to copy any file from your host to
another host on your network?

You should change to DD/MM/YYYY as MM/DD/YYYY makes no sense.

Thanks.

The format is determined by Windows Search. The syntax is emitted
by the calendar widget. It's not arbitrary, with this particular method.
To change that, there is likely a setting somewhere else, that
changes what the calendar spits out, and what the searcher
accepts (both would need to be changed at the same time
to be consistent). Later, if you wanted to manually enter the
date info, without the calendar widget, you can do it in the
new format you selected.

https://tr3.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2.../FigF21414.png

datemodified: MM/DD/YYYY

Today
Yesterday
This week
Last week
This month
...

You'd probably need to adjust this page, so everything is consistent
with your chosen format. You can see the Short date field here is
already in the default condition MM/DD/YYYY. Once this is changed,
the Search box should also start displaying what it's doing,
in the selected format.

*******

When you do a search in Windows, the entries produced are not
necessarily always in a "useful" frame of mind. They may resist
manipulation, like copy and paste. You can try and change the
display mode using the ribbon, but depending on which OS, this
doesn't always seem to work for the best. So while the immediate
answer would seem to be "you idiot, copy and paste", it's not
that simple. As sometimes the format that comes back, simply
doesn't copy/paste. And then you have to futz with it, until
it is in a state you can use. If I knew what the name of this
state was, I might be able to find a better solution (i.e.
just get rid of it forever :-) ) As I don't like how it works.
The entries should just come back in details mode, so they're
immediately usable.

(Geeks go wild...)

Which suggests, even on busted ole Win10, you may
be able to fix it. Make sure to modify that, to do it
the way you think works best.

It's the US method, using numerals in the customary form: "July 6th,
2017" - 07/06/2017. True, it makes no sense, but it's how they do it,
and all file managers I know of sort it correctly. I can only marvel at
the extra coding needed to do that.

If you want to be sure an American understands your dates correctly,
write them as YYYY/MM/DD, which also sorts with minimal fuss.


Real world example from a few days ago. I asked a colleague via IM when
a certain task had been completed. His response was "3/4". Is that March
4 or is it April 3? The answer somewhat depends, but I knew that he
hadn't been in the military and he hadn't been to Europe, so I guessed
March 4, which he confirmed as correct.

In the military we used dd-mm(m)-yy(yy), which I would have liked to see
as a standard. People like to say that it's confusing, but I think it's
only because they aren't used to it.

While we're at it, let's go Metric!

Not me. See below.

I'm sure you're right that it's only because they aren't used to it.

The standard I would like to see is YYYY-MM-DD. It makes the most
sense because it's directly sortable.

And while we're talking about dates, I would like to see the calendar
changed to 13 months of 28 days each, with New Year's day and Leap Day
(in the years when there is one) separate days at the beginning and
end of the year, not in any month. That would make the first of every
month fall on a Monday, and so on.

But it will never happen, because it doesn't make every Sabbath
(whatever day of the week your Sabbath is on) always 7 days after the
last one. Almost every religion would strongly be against it.


While we're at it, let's go Metric!



A strong ditto on that! To me, there's only thing against that. There
are a fair number of mechanics who have wrenches, measuring tools,
etc. in inches, pounds, quarts, etc. They would have to bear the
sizable expense of replacing them.

And by the way, as far as I'm concerned, doing something like selling
milk as .0946 liters instead of calling it a quart doesn't qualify as
going metric. Similarly, changing speed limits from 55mph to 88 kph
instead of 90 kpm doesn't count ether.

Fine with me. As with any change, there'd be a period of adjustment, but
I think people would adapt fairly quickly.

Interesting! I hadn't considered that approach.

Good point.

Most of those SAE tools wouldn't stop working. People would have to
translate some things, but a surprising number of tools are already
metric because a surprising number of things that need repairing are
metric. Every vehicle I've owned since 1982 has been metric, for
example. Eventually, as new generations of workers come up, everyone
would transition over.

Bumpy, perhaps, but still possible.

One of the states, perhaps South Dakota, had put up dual speed limit
signs several years back, but I think I read that the metric versions
had since been taken down. I'm not sure a slow transition is the answer.
Just set a date and do it. Go all the way.

I wish it were an original thought, but it's not. I read it long ago,
but I can't remember where.

I wasn't thinking primarily of car mechanics.

In one of my several previous lives, I was part owner of a precision
machine shop. Almost every one of our employees owned vernier calipers
and a micrometer. And none of them were metric.


Bumpy, perhaps, but still possible.



Possible, of course. It's the bumpiness I was concerned with.

I think it was more than one state, and probably all or most have
been taken down.

I agree, despite the bumpiness.

DD/MM/YYYY makes little sense. Read ISO 8601, and change to YYYY-MM-DD,
everywhere.

If this needs to be automated, OP should try news:alt.msdos.batch.nt
and/or use Windows Script Host with JavaScript or VBscript.
