Deleting Directory from date

[MadCoder]

I writing a script that connects to our svn and dumps the contents for nightly builds and I would like to know how I would

scan my target directory for directories older than 3 days and delete them? Now sure exactly what safe steps to take.

I don't know whether there's a way to get the Folder's Time, but you could scan the whole Folder for Files which are newer than 3 days (FileGetTime) and if you don't find any, delete the folder.

Very slow though.

Hi,

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Date.au3>

$startfolder = "" ; Put here your start folder without ending backslash
$folderList=_FileListToArray($startfolder, 2) ; list folders into array
If @Error=1 Then Exit
For $i = 1 To UBound ($folderList) - 1
    $foldertime = FileGetTime ($startfolder & "\" & $folderList [$i])
    $diff = _DateDiff ("D", $foldertime [0] & "/" & $foldertime [1] & "/" & $foldertime [2], _NowCalcDate () )
    If $diff > 3 Then DirRemove ($startfolder & "\" & $folderList [$i], 1)
Next

All,

I know this is an old topic, but I need exactly what it does. But I cannot get it to work? If I turn it into an .exe or leave it as a script, it just stops without any errors?

Ideas?

Stefan's code looks fine, are you sure you have the directory location correct? Also, are your test files over 3 days old?
