The Day Before Yesterday

[halbtuerke]

Hi,

how can I tell Hazel to process files that were created the day before yesterday?


Thanks in advance

Do you actually need the day before yesterday in terms of times between midnight 2 days ago and midnight one day ago? Or do you just want files created say in the last 48 hours? Could you describe the actual case you are trying to implement?

I actually need it in terms of times between midnight 2 days ago and midnight one day ago.

I have files from today which shouldn't be touched, files from yesterday which should be processed in some kind of way and files from the day before yesterday which should get deleted.


Thanks in advance

If you are just going to delete the files, is there something wrong with "Date created is not in the last 2 days"? Files will get processed as they hit the 2 day old mark instead of having all of them disappear at once at the end of the calendar day.

Otherwise, there's no real way to do it short of writing some script.
