Deleting old files

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I need to create a batch file to delete files that are "tiger*.*" and that
are older than 30 days from todays date. So if a file was created on Aug 1,
2005 the file would be delete in this folder.

Is it possible to create a batch file that I could schedule to run. That
would search out and delete file that are 'tiger*.* and are 30 days older
than todays date.

Thank You.

I have looked over the information there. I don't get it. I'm going to need
a little spoon feeding.

Thanks

It's a newsgroup - same as microsoft.public.windowsxp.general is a
newsgroup.

Essentially, it boils down to ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/link/tscmd.zip which
is Professor Timo Salmi's NT-batch tips list.

alt.msdos.batch.nt may not be carried by your news server - your ISP should
be able to fix that (It's a group dedicated to batch methods for NT/2K/XP)
but if you are interested in batch methods, newsgroups alt.msdos.batch or
microsoft.public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin may be useful, too.
