    date created = parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss", file["created"]);
    
    if(created > startOfDay(currentDate())) {
        attachmentsCreatedToday += a;

Notes

It is recommended that you use forward slashes ( / ) for file paths.
If the file path contains a backslash replace it with two backslashes, otherwise you will get a syntax error.
