I need a batch file which will get the directory list from a txt file and list out the directories which are created 1 month before ex: list.txt file will have the following c:\program\123 c:\test\abc d:\temp c:\docs\x\asdf e:\batch\test1 c:\temp\google the batch file should read each line from the above txt and check if it is created 1 month ago, if so it will display (echo) the directory like d:\temp e:\batch\test1 above directories created 1 month ago

thanks

If you look around this forum you'll see that date math in batch is not a happy subject. If you want to list dirs of previous month, maybe. If you want just those exactly one month old, probably hopeless. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

I want to remove the folders which are more than 1 month old

We're defining a month as . . . what, exactly?

Hi R2, As ever, first step is the problem statement. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Hi Madhubatch Post the output of this code and state wether your date format is dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy ect. I already have a batch file to delete files a certain number of days old which I will try modify to del directories. for /d %%a in (*.*) do echo %%a %%~ta %%~fa %date%
