Find files modified the last X days

[blank15927]

Hello,

Version 1.4.1.1003 (x64)

I'm trying to find files modified the last X days, for example modified the last 2 days.
For now, I have something like this :

Code: Select all

dm:04/02/2021..today

(please note that the date format is in french : day/month/year)
So far it's working but as you can see, the first date is hardcoded, and I have to change it when I want to run a search days later.
So I guess I'm looking for some kind of relative date, something like :

Code: Select all

today-2

, or today-3.
(I tried them but no luck

Any idea how to do this ?

Thanks !

Try

Code: Select all

dm:lastXdays

where X = quantity of the days

[NotNull]

dm:lastXdays

This. One thing to be aware of, is that searching for dm:last2days will report today and yesterday.
So in yourr case, you have to specify dm:last3days

Thanks to both of you !
Much more convenient now.

@NotNull :
I saw all these syntax, but I did not understand how it works, how to combine date constants.
(I feel stupid now, I was typing spaces between them, or colons... )

Thanks again.

You are not the first one; there are a couple of threads on this forum where people having the same struggles .. (so no need to feel stupid )

At the end of the Search Help page are a couple of date examples, but an example like dm:last2days is missing.
It would be helpful if such an example was added (in my opinion).
