Files Not Deleting

Recommended Posts

I am trying to use this script to remove files older than 14 days. The script runs, checks the files and creates the log at the end of the script but does not remove any files. I'm sure it's something simple, I just can't figure it out.

; Script Function:
; Remove file older than 14 days 
#include <date.au3>
AutoItSetOption ( "RunErrorsFatal", 0) 
;AutoItSetOption ( "TrayIconHide", 1) 
Break(0)
$Hotkey = "{Pause}"
HotKeySet ($Hotkey ,"StopExec") 
$L_Msg = ""
; init variables
$Version = "0.2"
$dir="C:\LGEAI\Trio"
$Dircount = 0
$n_FileCount = 0
$n_FileSize = 0
$begin = TimerStart()
; _Remove_Files(root dir, inclu subdirs,remove files older than)
$rc = _Remove_Files($Dir, 1,14)
Exit

The files do not appear to be locked. I added this bit of code

FileSetAttrib("*.txt","-R")
if @error Then MsgBox (4096, "Error", "Problem setting attributes.")

here in the script

; Script Function:
; Remove file older than 14 days 
#include <date.au3>
AutoItSetOption ( "RunErrorsFatal", 0) 
;AutoItSetOption ( "TrayIconHide", 1) 
Break(0)
$Hotkey = "{Pause}"
HotKeySet ($Hotkey ,"StopExec") 
$L_Msg = ""
; init variables
$Version = "0.2"
$dir="C:\LGEAI\Trio"
$Dircount = 0
$n_FileCount = 0
$n_FileSize = 0

$begin = TimerStart()
; _Remove_Files(root dir, inclu subdirs,remove files older than)
FileSetAttrib("*.txt","-R")
if @error Then MsgBox (4096, "Error", "Problem setting attributes.")
$rc = _Remove_Files($Dir, 1,14)
Exit

and it had not effect on the script. Text files older than 14 days are not deleted. Within the log file generated at the end of the script this message appears

2006/04/26 15:00:58 ==> Keep -> C:\LGEAI\Trio\030906Shp.txt

This file 030906Shp.txt was created on 03/09/06 and should have been deleted.

So obviously your date check fails? (not the FileRecycle function)

Add some more info to your log. Maybee somthing like this:

If _DateDiff ('d',$sdate,$eDate) > $T_Days then
               $rc = FileRecycle($n_tFile)
                Writelog($sdate  & " " & _DateDiff ('d',$sdate,$eDate) & "  *** rc:" & $rc & " del-> "  & $n_tFile)
            Else
            ; add 1 to filecount for this directory
               Writelog(" Keep -> "  & $n_tFile &  '>>> _DateDiff (\'d\',' & $sdate & ', ' & $eDate & '):=' &  _DateDiff ('d',$sdate,$eDate))
               $n_Dirnames[$n_DirCount][1] = $n_Dirnames[$n_DirCount][1] + 1
            EndIf

I allso think @Larry's tip is wery good as it will remove locked files on next boot.

I will try your script and see if I can make it work. I can't use Larry's suggestion because the finished script will run against a production machine that needs to be up 24/7. If I can get the date check function to work, then the alternative would be simply to move all files older than 14 days to another folder.

I edited the writelog statement in my script to include your suggestion and the script errors at this line:

Writelog(" Keep -> " & $n_tFile & '>>> _DateDiff (\'d\',' & $sdate & ', ' & $eDate & '):=' & _DateDiff ('d',$sdate,$eDate))

I receive a "Unable to parse line" at (\'d\

Uh, and you did not figure out how to deal with it? :think: (EDIT: This came out a bit rude, that was not the intention, I'm just a bit pussled.)

So, replace \'d\' with d or anything, I did not run this code. I only sugested that you tried to add some relevant information in your log.
