Create ZIP/RAR files with only last modified files between date (WINDOWS)
php, rar, windows, zip
Solution
Why using a script for this task? WinRAR supports such tasks directly.
- Start WinRAR.
- Navigate to the folder with the modified files to compress into a ZIP or RAR archive file.
- Click on command Add.
- Select the tab Time.
- On list item Include files select either Newer than or Modified after.
- Enter the appropriate time values according to the selected option.
- Click on button OK.
WinRAR adds to the archive now only files with a last modification time according to the specified time values.
See help of WinRAR or file Rar.txt in program files folder of WinRAR if creating the ZIP/RAR archive file should be done from command line. There are explained the command line options `-ta<date>` (modified after) and `-tn<time>` (newer than).
Problem
I have modified some php code files which are part of a project that lives in a directory with subdirectories. Now I'd like to send a zip file which contains only the files that were modified last to another person. Like: /c/index.php /c/out/inc_out.php /sales.php Is there an easy way to select a date range and create a ZIP/RAR archive with the latest modified files? I'm on Windows.
