Re: MSDOS Batch File Question!

Hi,

I am trying to write a batch file to delete all files older than one hour
within a folder.

Because of some restriction, I cannot use any 3rd party tool to do that.

What would be the most efficient MSDOS batch file to that?

Any help would be appreciated,

Max

Are these files in the one single folder or are they all over the
place?

BTW, MSDOS is an operating system. It got retired many years
ago. I suspect you're talking about the Command Prompt under
Windows XP.
