Solve : Check for number of times a file has been accessed? |
|
Answer» I want to write a BATCH file that checks if a particular file has been accessed a certain number of times, then deletes it if it has. Is it bad form to multipost? On different forums, no, it is fine (of course!) to post the same question. You have done nothing wrong. Quote from: nathan323 on October 03, 2014, 04:11:44 PM Hi. Is it bad form to multipost? Im trying to get a good cross reference of answers. Just curious.. The only thing is that the majority of the regular posters are also on that forum, so what foxidrive meant by that was that he already posted on your other thread and wont be posting the same response here.ahhh, I get it, thanks.Well a COUPLE of things could happen. Two people helping you on two different forums may interpret your question differently and may lead you in the wrong direction which may confuse either you or the person helping you. And a lot of times I see people post a question and the question get answered or the person trying to help asks for more information and the original poster abandons the thread because they started getting help on another forum and has then wasted the time of the person trying to help. Either way it would be nice to know if you have posted on another forum so that everyone can see what is going on.

The above is how I see it too. A poster will usually ignore every other site he has posted the question on when he gets an answer, and not tell them that he has an answer. I understand. I am aware of this THOUGH when I post and address all posts. From now on I might list the URL's of any other sites Ive posted to in each original post. Cheers everyone.Just curious why you would want to delete a file that seems as if it would be frequently accessed by the system or manually by the user? Files that are frequently accessed are usually not deleted. |
