Hi Mark, We use xxcopy utility to do that. but here is the sample script to do this.
http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB/?File=DelOld.TXT Delete Files Older Than XX Days Last Modified: 15 Aug 2001 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** PLEASE NOTE: Link(s), If Provided, May Be Wrapped *** The following batch file will step through the specified starting folder (%@FOLDER%) and its subfolders, and delete all files older than %@AGE%. It requires the use of Windows NT4 or higher, and several utilities from the Resource Kit, such as FORFILES and ROBOCOPY v1.95 or higher. The folder must be the shortname if entered at the command line. Longname folders should be entered directly into the batch file. The syntax is: DELETEOLD.BAT folder age Example: DELETEOLD D:\LOGS 25 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: The version below ("C") will only work in Win2K. See version "D" for a version compatible with both NT4 and Win2K. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @ECHO OFF rem ============================================================== rem === Initialize Environment Variables rem === Last Modified On 06 Jul 2000 rem ============================================================== :Variables SETLOCAL SET @FOLDER=%1& IF /I "%1"=="" SET @FOLDER=C:\TEMP SET @AGE=%2& IF /I "%2"=="" SET @AGE=30 SET @LOGFILE="%@FOLDER%\DeleteOld.LOG" rem ============================================================== rem === Recurse Through Subfolders And Delete Old Files rem === Last Modified On 17 Oct 2000 rem ============================================================== :SetFolders NOW Hunting Through "%@FOLDER%" And Subfolders For Old Files... >%@LOGFILE% ECHO. >>%@LOGFILE% ECHO.
