Filter expressions for specifying article/feed date ranges

[gilf]

Hello,

May I have an example of a filter expression statement for specifying a date range of articles across feeds? I've tried the attribute-operator-value syntax, with 'date' and 'feeddate' attributes, and variations of the strftime format, but as yet not working.

Help would be very appreciated.

Can anyone in the group help? I'm trying to list articles published across multiple feeds within a user-defined date range.  I opened up the cache sqlite db file to find a date format I could use in a filter expression, but the pubDate is a 10 digit number which is unfamiliar.

A bit stuck on this. I like newsbeuter, and would be reluctant to change to another rss.

`date =~ "02 Jan"` matches articles from 02/01/15 here, so I am guessing
the `date` and `feeddate` fields are textual. I guess a regexp involving
date wouldn't be impossible.

Another option would be using the `age between 5:10` syntax.

Does that help?

the 'age between 5:10' is very useful - however I'm having a hard time AND-ing that with the tag filters

"query:!!TOP:\"age between 0:1 and tags  =~ \"top\""

doesn't seem to work for some reason, though both of those query filters seem to work independently.
