Batch File Hell...

[Master Frodo UK]

Not sure if this is the correct place, but here goes..

I need some help creating a batch file that will check different folder locations and find folders that are 14 or more days old, copy them to a temp location and then delete from the temp location

The file locations do differ, they will be like this...
F:\Capacity\CCM\Work Area\OBR\Daily-all


The batch file would need to check all folders that are 5 layers deep, whats the command needed for the batch file to start looking at this level?

Thanks...

Are you thinking in terms of a DOS batch file or can you stretch to some VB?
Are the folder locations known?
What is the point of copying them before deletion?

MMMmmm
Maybe forfiles is what you need

Just as Noonoo Mentioned - please elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish.

Cheers,

I wonder, NooNoo if there's a mistake in that he wants them deleting from where they are found after copying to a temp folder, it would make more sense.

Oh, I remember the old ways, now! You mean he wants to perform a MOVE command rather than a COPY to a new location, then DELETE from the original location (which is the same thing). The ways of the Dark Place are coming back....
