Select Folders with a certain date/time range

We have a folder filled with 1000's of folders with different names which we run analysis on. How can I make it so that i am able to filter folders from a certain date range/time range to do the analysis on. We currently have it setup where it can only select folders from a specific date. We use dir to fine the folders from a specific date but want to expand the capabilties of our script.

Use datetime arrays and date and time relational calculations.

D = dir(fullfile(matlabroot, 'toolbox', 'matlab', 'demos'));
D(4)

ans = struct with fields:
       name: 'AgeVerificationCallback.m'
     folder: '/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/demos'
       date: '23-Apr-2014 16:21:58'
      bytes: 382
      isdir: 0
    datenum: 7.3571e+05

inThePastWeek = D(4).date > datetime('today')-calweeks(1) % false

inThePastWeek = logical
   0

onOrAfterStartOf2014 = D(4).date > datetime(2014, 1, 1) % true

onOrAfterStartOf2014 = logical
   1
