You can use a tool called FORFILES (download from Microsoft FTP server if you don't have it!) to select a file or set of files and execute a command on each of them. This allows us to filter files by name, timestamp, size and other attributes, and then perform a command based on their result.
The following are some common examples to use FORFILES to delete or display files older than N days:
Print a warning if the testfile is 3 days old or older: C:\> forfiles /m testfile.txt /c "cmd /c echo file is too old" /d -3 Delete the testfile if it is is 3 days old or older: C:\> forfiles /m testfile.txt /c "cmd /c Del testfile.txt " /d -3 Find .xls file that were last modified 60 days ago or older C:\> FORFILES /M *.xls /C "cmd /c echo @path was changed 60 days ago" /D -60 List the size of all .doc files: C:\> FORFILES /S /M *.doc /C "cmd /c echo @fsize"
