Answer» I've done a COUPLE searches in the DOS forum and promise I didn't find exactly the answer. So I apologize if this has been covered.
I want to create a bat file that will delete AGED files with certain prefix. Then I can call it from a scheduled task, say, every day.
I was trying the DEL function but can't find a way to utilize a date... below works so far, just that it deletes all the TT files:
DEL /S \\SERVER\TestDelete\Temp\TT*
Any thoughts appreciated, thx.
I don't KNOW how to do it using standard Command Prompt commands, but I made a console app to do it for me. I'd be happy to share it if you have no other alternative, I know it's a little scary using a program that does such a thing from someone you don't know :-/
The program works like this:
DeleteFileByAge "c:\temp\*.log" 30
That entry deletes all the .log files from the c:\temp directory that are more than 30 days OLD. I have an entry in Windows Scheduler to run the SCRIPT at midnight.
