1.	Solve : Keep latest 2 files and delete the rest?
Answer» I have the following: C:\Test\2007 Aug 07 Prod C:\Test\2007 Aug 06 Prod C:\Test\2007 Aug 03 Prod C:\Test\2007 Aug 02 Prod C:\Test\2007 Aug 01 Prod how do I write the ms-dos script to keep the latest 2 files and delete the rest of the files? Thanks. this works.. *for /f "skip=2 tokens=1,1,5 delims=," %%a in ('dir /A:A /OD /B /S') do del /f "%%a" remember that if you want to test this code first, to REMOVE a % symbol from %%a so that they both become %a , this code above has %%a because its MENT for using in a batch file @ECHO OFF CD\YOURFOLDERWITHFILES for /f "skip=2 tokens=1,1,5* delims=," %%a in ('dir /A:A /OD /B /S') do del /f "%%a"** EXIT this will keep the two NEWEST files and delete the rest of them ,
