I want to have a .bat script that deletes all htm files in a folder (and its subfolders) prior to the current time minus an hour. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Paco

Depends on the OS. But if the OS has deltree I think this will work.
deltree /y *.htm

Honestly, I don't know if Win2000 has deltree. Go to the command prompt and type
deltree /?
and see if you get a response. If so, /deltree /y *.htm should work.

del /s *.htm
that will delete all *.htm files in the current directory and all subdirectories, but it doesn't go by how old the file is.
From a command prompt you can type: HELP
to see all of the commands. To keep them from scrolling type it in like this: HELP | MORE
Then just hit the space bar to scroll to the next page.
you can get help for most commands by adding: /? after the command
for example: DEL /? |

Thanks, but I do need it to delete only older files and I don't see any way of doing it with available commands. Any batch file guru around?

As long as your server has windows scripting host installed, you could write a .vbs script file and use the filesystem object to determine the files to delete. With the proper permissions you could do the same directly from an asp page for files on your website.
