Roiy, I already had something similar. It actually deletes files older than 45 minutes. Just change .03124 to a "3" for 3 days.
# For each file in the folder.. while(<d:\\temp\\*.*>) { # If the file is not a directory, and is older than 45 minutes, delete it if ((!-d $_) && (-M $_ > .03124)) { unlink $_; } } How's that for a beginner? :) -Bob -----Original Message----- From: Zysman, Roiy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 1:19 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: a beginners challenge > Hi All, > Why not make a little challenge .. > Lets see who can write the most lean ,mean , elegant , powerful, poetic > (but most important) _Shortest_, script that cleans from a directory > files that are at least 3 days old. > Good luck all, > You're welcome to pick who you think is the winner. > Roiy > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
