Note that if your constraint contains spaces (particularly constraint with date and time), to use it in [[scripting]], you need to enclose whole mask to double-quotes.

-In [[scripting]], you can use ''[[scripting#timestamp|%TIMESTAMP%]]'' syntax to generate a time constraint. E.g. to select all files modified today, use ''*>=%TIMESTAMP#yyyy-mm-dd%''.+In [[scripting]], you can use ''[[scripting#timestamp|%TIMESTAMP%]]'' syntax to generate a time constraint. E.g. to select all files modified since the day before yesterday midnight, use ''*>=%TIMESTAMP-2D#yyyy-mm-dd%''.
