According to the help generated by tar --help there is a -N switch that is supposed to only process files *after* DATE tar -N DATE Anyone know, or has access to the source can have a look, what the hell the *format* is. So far I have tried most I can think of and I either get all files or no files in the output. In the latter case I get a listing like: [E:\tmp]tar -cvf stuff.tar -N 01/jan/2005 * tar: 1.jpg: is unchanged; not dumped tar: 2.jpg: is unchanged; not dumped tar: 3.jpg: is unchanged; not dumped tar: 4.jpg: is unchanged; not dumped tar: 5.jpg: is unchanged; not dumped tar: 6.jpg: is unchanged; not dumped tar: 7.jpg: is unchanged; not dumped tar: article.html: is unchanged; not dumped tar: bla.txt: is unchanged; not dumped tar: bla.zip: is unchanged; not dumped tar: Clp_ClientWndProc.c: is unchanged; not dumped tar: cshrc: is unchanged; not dumped tar: cvart.zip: is unchanged; not dumped tar: fromedit: is unchanged; not dumped tar: from_e: is unchanged; not dumped tar: ME103_datasheet.pdf: is unchanged; not dumped The file dates are all this year up to today, I have tried: 20050109 20050901 01092005 09012005 01/Jan/2005 What appears to be happening is that any format that is all numeric gives everything and any format with alpha in it gives nothing.

This page should give you the sate syntax:- http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/tar_7.html#SEC110 but bear in mind we have an old port which may even suffer Y2K problems... You could try building v1.14... I had it working (partially...) a couple of weeks ago. > TIA > > > -- > Regards > > Dave Saville > -- John **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 08:57:49 -0800 From: "Dave Yeo" Subject: Re: Re: Openssl-0.9.7e On Tue, 11 Jan 2005 11:39:39 +0100 (CET), Stefan.Neis at t-online.de wrote: >Dave Yeo schrieb: > >> It looks almost the same as I did except I also >> included a test for __EMX__ as innotek_libc uses >> strcasecmp etc. > >Why?
