What is the simplest way to construct an expression to represent today at 1:15 PM that you could use to classify files and before and after that instant in time?
contructing a date:time
- Thread starter Roedy
- Start date
set ct=%@makeage[%_date,13:15]
and compare that to fileage?

Most, if not all, file selection commands and functions accept date and
time ranges. As described in HELP topic "dateranges.htm", the date range
syntax below selects files created at or after 1:15 PM local time today:
/[d0@1:15p]
The syntax below selects files created before that epoch:
/![d0@1:15p]

| Thanks. How about a way of telling if now is after 1PM today?
If you mean to test whether or not the current time of day is after 1:00 PM
(a test independent of anything in the file system), do this:
if %@time[%_time] GT %@time[1:00 PM] echo It is already past 1 PM!

Same here. Nothing similar in any other forum. BTW, Klaus, when you use
an all-numeric date, esp. for the first twelve days of a month, it ought to
be ISO style for easy mental parsing anywhere, JP fora have contributors on
all continents with varying local date formats.
