Standard command line commands are insufficient, so VBScript would be the
answer. I'm not overly familiar with VBScript, but a couple of hours or so
with a reference on Windows scripting and some searches at
http://msdn.microsoft.com allowed me to come up with the following:
==========================================================
' (c) Copyright by IBM Corporation 2006. All Rights Reserved.
' makefilelist.vbs
' This script takes three arguments:
' - The fully-qualified directory name to scan
' - The maximum number of days between now and the time the file was
' last modified for which the file will be flagged
' - The name of the output file that contains the resulting file list
' This code has not been through any formal testing, and is not
' warranted by IBM. Use at your own risk.
Const ForWriting = 2
today = Date
nArgs = WScript.Arguments.Count()
If nArgs = 3 Then
' Add 0 to coerce the second argument to a number.
BuildFileList WScript.Arguments.Item(0), _
WScript.Arguments.Item(1) + 0, _
WScript.Arguments.Item(2)
Else
WScript.Echo "Usage: cscript makefilelist <directory> <days> " & _
"<output file name>"
End If
Function BuildFileList(dir, days, outFile)
' Open the output file.
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objOutFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(outFile, ForWriting, True)
' List the files in the directory specified by the user.
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\." & _
"\root\cimv2")
Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery("ASSOCIATORS OF " & _
"{Win32_Directory.Name='" & dir & _
"'} Where ResultClass = CIM_DataFile")
' Check each file to see if it has been modified within the last
' <days> days.
For Each objFile in colFiles
' WScript.Echo objFile.LastModified & ": " & objFile.Name
' Uncomment the line above if you want to see what the LastModified
' field looks like. The format is:
'
' yyyyMMddhhmmss.nnnnnn?uuu
'
' yyyy = year
' MM = month
' dd = day of month
' hh = hour
' mm = minute
' ss = second
' nnnnnn = fraction of a second
' ? = '+' or '-' offset from UTC
' uuu = offset from UTC in minutes
lastMod = Left(objFile.LastModified, 4) & "-" & _
Mid(objFile.LastModified, 5, 2) & "-" & _
Mid(objFile.LastModified, 7, 2)
diff = DateDiff("d", lastMod, today)
If diff <= days Then
objOutFile.WriteLine(objFile.Name)
End If
Next
objOutFile.Close()
End Function
==========================================================
Note that I make no promises that this will do what you need, but at least
it might present a starting point.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
