----- Begin -----
I've got a directory of documents on one of our app servers. They're
computer generated documents that have been piling up for a bit. Right now,
in this one directory, there is close to 500k documents. I'm wanting to
pull some of the files out of there. Problem is that the folder seems to be
so big (like 13GB), that explorer just freezes (even if you let it sit for
an hour) trying to open up the folder. Over the command line, I can copy
files fine though. Does anyone know of a way that I could copy files over
the command line using a modified date range as an identifier? The files go
back about 3 years and I would want to move out maybe the first year or so.
I wasn't aware of any specific switches that did that in either copy or
xcopy.
Or beyond that, would there be a utility that could do it that anyone is
aware?
----- End -----
If you can use a DOS command line to copy files out of the directory, move
a bunch using a wildcard (a* for example). Repeat as needed until the
large directory is small enough that Explorer can do a proper filtering.
