SteveGibbs Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hey everyone, Does anyone know how to delete a .log file that is older than 2 weeks in a batch file. I can't seem to find out on the web. Hope it's not too off topic. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakillon Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) With AutoIt you can see for FileGetTime function ! Example :#include <Date.au3> $_FileTime = FileGetTime ( @WindowsDir & "\explorer.exe", 1, 1 ) $_DayDiff = _DateDiff ( 'd', _ConvertTimeFormat ( $_FileTime ), _NowCalc ( ) ) MsgBox ( 4096, "", "Number of days since : " & $_DayDiff ) Func _ConvertTimeFormat ( $_FileTime ) Return StringMid ( $_FileTime, 1 , 4 ) & '/' & StringMid ( $_FileTime, 5 , 2 ) & '/' & StringMid ( $_FileTime, 7 , 2 ) & _ ' ' & StringMid ( $_FileTime, 9 , 2 ) & ':' & StringMid ( $_FileTime, 11 , 2 ) & ':' & StringMid ( $_FileTime, 13 , 2 ) EndFunc ;==> _ConvertTimeFormat ( ) Edited January 25, 2011 by wakillon AutoIt 3.3.14.2 X86 - SciTE 3.6.0 - WIN 8.1 X64 - Other Example Scripts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoHanatCent Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Luuk mow bettuh [CAPITALS for switches are MANDATORY!!! Very nice and handy Varian. Now to do all of this from AutoIt just use it like so!: $Location = "e:\temp2" $DaysandOlder = 14 RunWait(@COMSPEC & ' /c forfiles.exe /P ' & $location & ' /S /M *.log /D -' &$DaysandOlder & ' /C "cmd /c del /q @PATH"', '', @SW_Hide) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
