automatically zip files based on date

[Delphiwhat]

Hi all

Hope someone can point me inthe right direction.

I have a folder consisting of hundreds of files. What I want to do is automatically zip them based on date. The program or script should run automatically.

Can this be done using perl ? scirpt?

so all files from 01/01/2005
to 10/01/2005

should be zipped into
01012005.zip file

The server is win nt box

thanks for you help

You're looking for File Test operators. Open up a command prompt and type perldoc -f -M to get the descriptions of these operators.

I suspect you're also going to need a date/time module like Date::Calc and possibly the Archive::Zip module.
