I'm trying to create a batch file that will delete a files by a certain name. The files will all be similar to this. a20081010.txt or a20081011.txt or a20081012.txt... etc. Then if the files are older then 30 days for datemodified then I want to delete the file. Here is what I have so far. Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\batch file\test") For Each efile in objFolder.Files If exist *.txt Then If DateDiff("d",eFile.DateLastModified,Now) >= 30 Then objFSO.DeleteFile(eFile) End If Next

Time to go over your thread's title. Batch file delete file by file name | | | | +--+---+ +---+----+ | | +----+ Not by | file's VBScript <> Batch name. Let's try this again, shall we? Aside from the line If exist *.txt Then, it's a perfectly valid script. If you're looking to only delete .txt files, I suggest you get rid of the first If, and change the second If to this: If LCase(objFSO.GetExtensionName(efile)) = "txt" And DateDiff("d",eFile.DateLastModified,Now) >= 30 Then
