Move files by access, modified or create date

[bjh1960]

I am looking for a way to move files to another location (keeping all security and pathing) of files that haven't been accessed, modified, or created by a certain date with possible exclude certain directories.

I am trying to clean up files that are abandoned, but no one wants to delete and move them to a NAS box.

If anyone knows how to do this or knows of a product that works well, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Brett

VBScript is the way to go. Using the file system object you can selct fiels by date or last modified and meet all of your other criteria.

Somebody posted one of my scripts over here:

that shows what you want. THe same script is somewhere out here on Tek-Tips too.



I hope you find this post helpful.

If you want to avoid the scripting aspect, the Windows Resource kit ROBOCOPY program should be able to do this for you fine.
