VBScript for removing files from folder

Hi,

I have a script to cleanup log files on a particular directory for one of our apps. Maybe this will work for you. test it out and let us know if you have any ???

Lines you need to edit are: -
 iDaysOld = 14
      sDirPath = "D:\" ' drive letter of where the directory to clean up is
      sDirName = "foldername" ' directory where the log files you need to cleanup are

' COMMENT: This script will search a speicified directory for folders older than XX days and delete them
'
'==========================================================================
 
'Option Explicit
'on error resume next
      Dim oFSO
      Dim sDirectoryPath
      Dim oFolder
      Dim oFileCollection
      Dim oFile
      Dim iDaysOld
 
'Customize values here to fit your needs
Const ForWriting = 2 ' creats a constant for writing to file
Const Forappending = 8 ' creates a constant for appending to file
 
' objOutputFile.WriteLine "Account name" & "," & "Alternate Recipient"
      iDaysOld = 14
      sDirPath = "D:\" ' drive letter of where the directory to clean up is
      sDirName = "foldername" ' directory where the log files you need to cleanup are
      Set fs = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
      sDirectoryPath = sDirPath & sDirName '"C:\temp"
      Set fo = fs.GetFolder(sDirectoryPath)
      Set folders = fo.SubFolders
	  OutputFile = sDirName & ".log"	' Output file with server details
 
	  Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Set objInputFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(InputFile,1,FALSE) ' opens text file object
	  Set objOutputFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(OutputFile, forWriting, True) ' opens output file for writing      
      strFolderList = "The following Folders are found under " & sDirectoryPath
	  strDelFolderList = "The following Folders are older than " & iDaysOld & " day will be deleted from " & sDirectoryPath
'Walk through each file in this folder collection. 
'If it is older than 3 weeks (10) days, then delete it.
		For Each folder In folders
		strFolderList = strFolderList & vbcrlf & folder.Name & vbtab & folder.DateLastModified
            If folder.DateLastModified < (Date() - iDaysOld) Then
                  strDelFolderList = strDelFolderList & vbcrlf & folder.Name & vbtab & folder.DateLastModified

'Clean up
      Set oFSO = Nothing
      Set oFolder = Nothing
      Set oFileCollection = Nothing
      Set oFile = Nothing

Eeek. Sorry i think I posed the wrong script above will search for folders in a directory and delete the old ones. I'll try to post the files one soon. If you don't here from me today then request this call to be delete refund and re-post. Once again sorry about that.

I very quickly fixed this one up and tested it try it out it should suit your need. this will delete files that have not been modified for 14 days.

Set Directory = Fso.GetFolder("C:\temp\test")         ' place for directory details here
If DateDiff("D", Modified.DateLastModified, Now) > 14 Then Modified.Delete ' this line means 14 days

Dim Fso
Dim Directory
Dim Modified
Dim Files
 
Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Directory = Fso.GetFolder("C:\temp\test")         ' place for directory details here
Set Files = Directory.Files
 
For Each Modified in Files
If DateDiff("D", Modified.DateLastModified, Now) > 14 Then Modified.Delete
Next

Thanks Mass2612....

I will try it today and get it back to you ASAP.

Cheers

Hi Mass2612

Your script is working perfectly. But I may need a small change. (I am sorry I didn't mention my question clearly. )

In my log folder, you can see the attachment in the below. I only want to remove log filename "access.2009-xx-xx" which is over 14 days. I want to keep file:boot, process, server, and all server.log.2009-xx-xx which could be over 14 days.

Could you please help me to change the script?

I appreciate to your help and time.

Cheers
