Download FI.zip, an alternative to the DIR command, which provides file age and size filtering, security, device, alternate data streams, and file link information.

When you type fi /?, you receive:

Version 0.13, Copyright (C)2002, Frank P. Westlake.
Prints a list of files.

FI [options] file[s]   [[options]  file[s] [. . .]]

 file[s]  May include wild cards. Use the current directory indicator (.) to
          refer to a directory, ex: FI C:\temp\.

Options, must precede 'file[s]':
 /A         Attribute filter, Prints only the files with specified attributes.
              Ex: /A+SH-R  (prints only the files with S and H but without R)
 /B         Prints only the file name.
 /C         Format numbers with a separator (default). Use /-C to disable.
 /D         Print information on the device, for example: /D C: or \\.\
 /G[A|C|W]"<"|"="|">"value[/divisor]
            Filters files by age in days. If '/divisor' is given, the day value
            is divided by that value (i.e. /24 for hours, /1440 for minutes).
              A=last access, C=creation, W=last write. Default is W.
 /H         Include alternate data stream names. Printed as 'file:stream'.
 /L         Include link index and the number of links as first two columns.
 /Q         Include owner in brief listing or SIDs in verbose listing.
 /S         Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories.
 /T[A|C|W][G]
            Print the time stamp of the file (default). Use /-T to disable. If
            'G' is included print age instead of time.
              A=last access, C=creation, W=last write. Default is W.
              Examples: /TC  /TCG  /-T
 /V         Print detailed information for each file.
 /X         Use short file names.
 /Z["<"|"="|">"value]
            Filters files by size (default). Use /-Z to disable printing of
            file size.

The hyphen may be used to reverse the effect of an option.

Comparison operators must be quoted somehow: /z"="0 "/z=0" /"z=0"

Swirches may be predefined in an environment variable with the name of this
program, for example 'SET FI.EXE=/LHQ-C'. The program name may vary.

Codes displayed with trustee rights [T:RWXDPO:PDF+]:
T=Either "Allows" or "Denies" the displayed permissions.
R=Read, W=Write, X=Execute, D=Delete, P=Permissions write, O=Owner write.
P=Primary object, D=Directories inherit, F=Files inherit, +=Propagated

Examples:

  FI C:\WINNT\.
  FI "/g>7" /ash-r C:\WINNT\*.exe

  FI "/z=0" C:\WINNT\*.exe

Scripting Example
If you wanted to delete all the files in the C:\Logs directory whose last write date is greater than 7 days:

for /f "Tokens=*" %%f in ('fi /A-d /b /gw">"7 C:\Logs\*.*') do del /q "%%f"
