Hello all,

For archiving purposes i need to move files > 1month old.

Hello dl65,

I need the script to run on win2k. The script will be executed by a WMS scheduler.
Why in DOS: Basicly all additional scripting (ftp, file moves, sql kickoffs, ..) is currently done in DOS and i like to keep it that way for the near future.

I tried but my DOS knowledge is nothing more than the basics so the 'date selection' is too much for me.

I am also in this same boat.  I need to write a batch file that will be run by Windows Scheduled Task.  I need the batch file to look at a directory and move files that are older than the current date - 3, or 72 hours.  Can this be done in DOS?  Thanks!!
