old files

[forever0donotknowme]

hi my friends,

really this is important topic

i have some folder that contain many files with different extentions

i want to do script that delete every files that are used befor one month = old and not open now

for example, prefetch folder

yes, in this case i will use file list array

filedelete

but i do not crrect script for my project that is used for deleting old prefetch files

[BrewManNH]

Usse FileGetTime on each file and compare the date returned (last modified or last accessed date) with the current date and see if they're more than a month apart.

BrewManNH

my sir ,Do you think my intelligence and my experience and got to your level of practical

i will try to make this hard script

[Mechaflash]

Do what BrewManNH said and utilize _DateDiff()

[BrewManNH]

You'd have to reformat the values returned from the FileGetTime function to work with _DateDiff, but shouldn't be hard to do that. I'd also use _NowCalcDate instead of using _Now if using _DateDiff, because it returns the date in the format needed for _DateDiff.

i will try today to write this script

it will be ready tomorrow

[AZJIO]

#include <Array.au3>
#include <FileOperations.au3>

Global $TimeDiff = 3600 * 24 * 30
$TimeCurrent = _NowCalc()

$FileList = _FO_FileSearch(@WindowsDir, '*.tmp|*.log')
; $FileList = _FO_FileSearch(@WindowsDir, '*.tmp')
_ArrayDisplay($FileList, 'File = *.tmp|*.log')

$c = 0
For $i = 1 To $FileList[0]
    $t = FileGetTime($FileList[$i], 1)
    $sTime = $t[0] & '/' & $t[1] & '/' & $t[2] & ' ' & $t[3] & ':' & $t[4] & ':' & $t[5]
    If _DateDiff('s', $sTime, $TimeCurrent) > $TimeDiff Then
        $c += 1
        $FileList[$c] = $FileList[$i]
    EndIf
Next
ReDim $FileList[$c + 1]
$FileList[0] = $c
_ArrayDisplay($FileList, '>month')

If MsgBox(4, '???', 'FileDelete ?') = 6 Then
    $err = ''
    For $i = 1 To $FileList[0]
        If Not FileDelete($FileList[$i]) Then
            If Not (FileSetAttrib($FileList[$i], '-RST') And FileDelete($FileList[$i])) Then
                $err &= $FileList[$i] & @CRLF
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    If $err Then MsgBox(0, 'Error', $err)
EndIf

can you help me and give me full script for prefetch folder

[JLogan3o13]

forever0donotknowme, you've been around long enough to know better than to expect people to write your script for you. Put some effort into it, write something out based on the excellent suggestions you have received thus far, and then post your code if you run into problems.

AZJIO code

i can not solve my problem in this topic

please can any one help me to give me script to delete old files that created more than one month in some folder that is existing in desktop

[Somerset]

I don't think anyone wants to proverbially "give the gun to the chimp" and watch you shoot yourself and or others. Write the script a little at a time, until you got an understanding of how it works. You will continue to try to butter up others and hope they write it for you, but if someone gives you the script you learn nothing.

Plan out the script before writing it.

Read the help file, explore it and see what closely fits into your plans.

Writing a script with no thought does you a disservice and causes only problems.

[forever0donotknowme]

if you give me ready code, i will learn benefit for every line of code

i want script without message for delete attention<<< automatically delete all files that were created befor one month in prefetch folder

[JLogan3o13]

I believe the continued begging for "ready code" violates the spirit of the forum rules, especially the part about not being a "general nuisance"

You know by now that we teach people to fish, rather than handing it to them, forever0donotknowme. You have to put some effort into it and post your own code, even if it doesn't work. Then, we will gladly assist you.
