 |

I am using the forfiles.exe version:5.2.3790.0 (srv03_rtm.030324-2048) in windowsXP.
I tested the following command in batch file
-------------------------------------------------
| Quote: |
@ECHO OFF
ECHO ******www.moshiur.com***********
forfiles /p C:\test22\test2\ /s /m *.* /d -30 /c "cmd /c del echo @FILE"
EXIT |
-------------------------------------------------
I found that it was working fine including all files in sub directories in my given path but thing is that it couldn't delete any subdirectories from this path C:\test22\test2\ . Do you have any advice ?

Hi delcom5 ! I think you didn't understand what i was trying to do. Let me understand you 1st.
If any files age is more than 30 days , I want to delete automatically those files from the particular folder after 30 days. I need that type of command in script so that I can create a batch file for schedule
I found after research that Forfiles.exe is the best solution for that. Command line rd is able to delete all in directories /subdirectories but does not suitable for my requirements.

RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
/S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory
in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory
tree.
/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S
|
So you may think about it more !!!!
