EnScript to export selected files & files based on condition criteria
Several months ago I created an EnScript that exports all the files based on a list of file extensions. The user can enter a list of extensions and any files that match the list of extensions, will be exported to their original path. You can see the original post here.
I recently had a request for an EnScript to export all the selected files in the case and to maintain their original file paths and original timestamps. Below is the requested EnScript, which will export all the selected files to the case default export folder and maintain their original path and timestamps.
I then went ahead and modified it into another EnScript that will export files based on condition criteria. In cases where an investigator wants to export files based on metatdata, you can use this EnScript to filter and export only the files that match the condition criteria you define. In the example below, I defined two conditions to export files that have a file extension of "jpg" AND was accessed on or after 03/15/2010. You can define as many different conditions as you wish and use Boolean AND/OR/NOT logic to define your conditions.

How does it handle long paths? (Cases where the export dir plus the filename would be longer than 255 characters.)
There is no internal handling of long paths by the EnScript. If you expect or encounter paths > 255 you should export to a root or short path.
