You need to enumerate all files in your folder with these services:
AH=4Eh (Find First File)
AH=4Fh (Find Next File)

During these calls DOS will fill the information about each file into DTA object (which can be set by AH=1Ah service). That object has DATE & TIME of the file. Use it to select only the files needed for copying.

To copy files created in Dec 2009, you can use this script.

# Script CopyByDate.txt
var str list, file
cd "C:/Folder1"
lf -n "*" "." (($fctime >= "20091201") AND ($fctime <= "20091231")) > $list
while ($list <> "")
do
    lex "1" $list > $file
    system copy ("\""+$file+"\"") ("\""+"C:/Folder2"+"\"")
done

To copy files by name, change the lf command to

lf -n "*" "." (($fname >= "20091201") AND ($fname <= "20091231")) > $list

Both scripts are in biterscripting ( http://www.biterscripting.com ). To try, save the script in file C:/Scripts/CopyByDate.txt, execute it with the following command.

script "C:/Scripts/CopyByDate.txt"
