Hi Ronoa,<br />
<br />
I have written a script which does what you want, it is available at a differant question here: <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23140386/Script-to-delete-files.html" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23140386/Script-to-delete-files.html</a><br />
<br />
Please note, being a file deletion script, it can delete files and you should test it prior to using it in a production environment.<br />

Hmm. &nbsp;This is definately a start, however I'm looking to have it delete a specified file, not all of them in the directory. &nbsp;And by dateModifed, not by dateCreated. &nbsp;Thanks though, I'll see what I can do to fiddle with this.

I'm looking for a script or dos command to detect or return a specified file's modified date, so that I can compare that against a variable, and then delete it if it's older that said variable.

Hello,

Windows Batch or Script to detect a file date and delete if older than X

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
