Batch Files Again

[fish]

Anyone know the command lines to delete all files in a directory which have not been modified for x days.

I need to be able to run a script which just automatically cleans up certain folders.

Any thoughts

Probably easier in VBScript...

MUCH easier in vbScript.

Do you know what the folders are called?

I've done this before without using VB Script (because I can), simply blat everything and recreate the folder structure from scratch.

Yep but I was just after the script so if for example the folder is c:updateemail then What would the script be ie:

delete c:updateemail /older than 30 days

????????

Its not at all simple in batch.

The Del command doesnt have a parameter for age.

You have to ascertain the update date of the file and then parse it to compare against today.

There are plenty of examples on Google though.
