This code should help you out.
You can compare the dates down to the second.
The function datecompare has an optional parameter (It's the precision of
the comparison)
The parameter can have any of the following values:
s Precise to the second
n Precise to the minute
h Precise to the hour
d Precise to the day
m Precise to the month
yyyy Precise to the year
<cfdirectory action="list" filter="*.*" directory="c:\" name="directory">
<cfoutput query="directory">
<cfscript>
// set your date either dynamically or statically below
mydate = now();
// compare mydate to directory.datelastmodified
comparison = datecompare(dateformat(mydate,'m/dd/yyyy'),
dateformat(datelastmodified,'m/dd/yyyy'));
</cfscript>
<!--- output results of comparison --->
<cfif comparison eq -1>
date1 is less than date2
<cfelseif comparison eq 0>
date1 is equal to date2
<cfelseif comparison eq 1>
date1 is greater than date2
</cfif>
<br>
</cfoutput>

Subject: Comparing Dates Functions
Hello All,
I'm having difficulty comparing a date range to DateLastModified,
returned from CFDirectory. I've explored most of the date functions but
can't find the function and syntax to do the job. Any help would be
appreciated. TIA. Have a nice day.
Regards,
Paige
