Move files based on Date
« on: May 24, 2004, 12:40:43 AM »
Hello all,

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

I read all topics but this seems hard to perform in DOS, can anyone help me out?

Thx,

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    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!!
