Question:

I am looking for a way to delete temp files (\temp\*.tmp) that are older than 2 days. Is this possible with Winbatch, and does anyone have an example of working code that will accomplish this - no need re-inventing the wheel if it has already been done.

Answer:

Here is some sample code that should get you started.

CurrDay = TimeYmdHms ( )
TempFiles = FileItemize ("c:\temp\*.tmp"))
For FileNum = 1 to ItemCount (TempFiles, @TAB)
   CurrFile = ItemExtract (FileNum, TempFiles, @TAB)
   CurrFileDate = FileTimeGetEx (StrCat ("c:\temp\", CurrFile),2)
   If TimeDiffDays (CurrDay, CurrFileDate) > 2 Then
   FileDelete (StrCat ("c:\temp\", CurrFile))
EndIf
Next
