filter question

[Guest]

I'm sorry to post such a newbie question, but does the filter command work in script?
I have the following script and it's not working:

LOAD "c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
filter cutoff:<1days
COPYTO LEFT Changes\%Date%

It copies everything.

Re: filter question

The filter statement affects which files are selected by a select statement, so try a select before the copyto command.

Here's an example:

LOAD "c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
filter cutoff:<1days
expand all
select lt.files
COPYTO lt Changes\%Date%

Re: filter question

That worked.
Thank you!
For the benefit of other readers, here's the complete script:

LOAD C:\inetpub\wwwroot C:\Archive\Temp
FILTER cutoff:<1days
EXPAND ALL
SELECT LEFT.FILES
Option confirm:yes-to-all
COPY LEFT->RIGHT
LOAD C:\Archive\Temp
EXPAND ALL
SELECT ALL
# COPYTO can accept a date parameter.
# In Control Panel, Regional Settings, the Date separater was changed from / to -.
COPYTO LEFT C:\Archive\Development\Changes\%Date%
Option confirm:yes-to-all
# The following deletes the contents of C:\Archive\Temp
DELETE LEFT
