MS DOS

[Bari]

Is there any query in MS DOS to view the files and folders of a particular week.

not well understood?

It sounds like you'll need to use the "DIR" command, but you'll also need to use a specific switch.

I don't have a copy of all the DIR switches at hand, but if you'll go to a command prompt and type,
Dir /H >C:\dir.txt you should get a list of those commands, saved to a text file in your root directory, called "dir.txt".

I use that technique often to get a list of all the switches for any DOS command.

good luck,

No.

Can you make one?
Maybe, a lot of hassle.

Easier to do in Windows. Why do you need it int DOS?

1) maybe he didn't phrase it well
2) he wants to automate it, after all, he is posting here.
I don't think he doesn't know how to do it with Windows since Windows is idiot proof

@OP, a vbscript you can use here

I can help you a little bit. Just related to your question. Here is the dos command that retrieves the files of particular date.

C:\dir > text.txt | find /n "10/28/2009" text.txt

here dir will gives the results of the files and directories list. That list will be saved to text.txt file through the command "dir > text.txt"

"|" will be used to combine two commands to run one after another. Here dir > text.txt
will be executed first there after the remaining part.

find /n will dispaly the line numbers with the lines that matches your string
The string can be given in double quotations " " . Here I gave the time period usually dos displays mm/dd/yyyy. Provide the date in the quotations that you request to retrieve from the file text.txt ( You may save the dir results to some other file, but you have to provide that file in the find command).

Hope this will help you a little bit.............

if that's the case, why not directly pipe to find without creating an intermediate file. Also, its not that simple as regard to OP's question. He wants to find files/folders of particular week, not a date. Although more information from OP is needed to clarify whether does he mean the weeks of a month (ie, 1st week, 2nd week....till 4th week) , or a week in a year ( ie, 1 to 52)

"whether does he mean the weeks of a month (ie, 1st week, 2nd week....till 4th week) , or a week in a year ( ie, 1 to 52)"

i would like to display the files/folders of 2nd week as well a particular week.

[Bari]

I would like to see the files/folders of 2nd week

or any particular given week only.  Is there any possibility in MS DOS to view or execute such query.

I am familier with Windows, but i want this query to run in dos

then use "w" for weekday, "ww" for week of the year in link i gave you. IF you want to do that in pure batch, it can be done, BUT it will kill your brain cells.
