I'm sure you could dabble in the script, but I seem to think there are selection criteria in the front-end to filter the period you look at ?

Yes sure theres a period to filter on. But I'm not interested in logfiles from wayback and also it just consumes time to load them all. Therefor I was wondering if you could set a where statement in scipt to only get the last weeks logfiles or so,,,

Try like this

LET vMaxDate: '=max(date_created)';

LET vFirstOfLast7: '=max(date_created,6)';

LOAD *

from table_name

where date>vFirstOfLast7;

Could you specify more? My Datecolumn is called "Date"

Could this work?

LET FromDate = Today()-7;

LET ToDate = Today()-1;

Directory;

LOAD Date,

     Num

FROM

TableIndata.txt

(txt, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq)

WHERE Date >= $(FromDate) AND Date <= $(ToDate);

You can manipulate FromDate and ToDate as you like, in this case today's entries would not be included (which may not be what you want but I just wanted to include both conditions).
