Hello evreybody,
I’d like to remove the fold files (Older than 1 year) I created with the following code :
VAR string stFilePath:=“Home:/BackupLogs/”;
VAR string stFileName;
VAR iodev logfile;
VAR string stPart;
stFileName:=stFilePath+stDate+“_MyFile.csv”;
Open stFileName, logfile\Append;
Write logfile,stTimeLogs;
Close logfile;
How could I filter and remove the files containing the stPart in the name ?
stPart := StrPart(stDate,1,4);
RemoveFile(stFilePath+“/”+FileName);
Thanks for your help
Is there a possibility of writing your files to an external device?
It has been observed writing to a Windows PC and running a batch file, or PowerShell script, against the folder with the files has worked.
Hi SomeTekk,
I have to try.
I’ll keep you inform, but I can’t do it quickly.
Thanks
I am a bit fuzzy on exactly what options are necessary.
The RAPID REFERENCE Manual was a great tool used to get the results I needed exported to an external destinaton.
Here’s an AI generated PowerShell script deleting old files and folders:
Set parameters
$targetDir = “C:\Path\To\Your\Directory”
$daysOld = 30
Calculate cutoff date
$cutoffDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-$daysOld)
Delete files older than the cutoff date
Get-ChildItem -Path $targetDir -Recurse -File | Where-Object {
$_.LastWriteTime -lt $cutoffDate
} | ForEach-Object {
try {
Remove-Item $_.FullName -Force
Write-Host “Deleted file: $($_.FullName)”
} catch {
Write-Host “Failed to delete file: $($.FullName) - $”
}
}
Delete empty directories
Get-ChildItem -Path $targetDir -Recurse -Directory | Sort-Object -Property FullName -Descending | ForEach-Object {
if (-not (Get-ChildItem $_.FullName -Recurse)) {
try {
Remove-Item $_.FullName -Force
Write-Host “Deleted empty directory: $($_.FullName)”
} catch {
Write-Host “Failed to delete directory: $($.FullName) - $”
}
}
}
Best of luck!
