Here is a fine discussion of this: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.... i.e., Google alt.msdos.batch for "delete old files." rprgrmr

Nobody has managed to do it here in the last few years. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

You'll need to use a more appropriate language that has the capability of doing date calculations, such as Perl or Python, or VB.

@OP, you can use find command from findutils for windows if you are able to install it. See here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/pac... it will make you life easier
