Hello to all...I signed up for this list and here is my first post... I know you said batch file, but here it is in vbscript (watch the line wrap): strOrgFolder="C:\folder1\" 'Be sure the variable has a trailing backslash strDestFolder="C:\folder2\" 'Be sure the variable has a trailing backslash Set objFileSys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFolder = objFileSys.GetFolder(strOrgFolder) For Each objFile In objFolder.Files ' the following line will copy files based on age, the -2 means copy all files 2 days old and newer ' If DateDiff("d", now, objFile.DateLastModified) > -2 then objFile.Copy strDestFolder & objFile.Name,true 'True = Overwrite, False = Do Not Overwrite If err.number = 0 then objFileSys.DeleteFile objfile End If ' End If Next -----Original Message----- From: Michael Boggan [mailto:MBoggan@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 4:06 PM To: THIN (E-mail) Subject: [THIN] OT: Batch file question I am trying to right a batch file that copies files from drives on local harddrive to directories on a network share then, IF there are no errors, deletes the files on the local harddrive. How can I do the delete? I got that copy part, but how can I tell it to delete the files only if there are no errors? Any ideas?
