Dear All,

I am new to batch scripting. I have requirement, I want to delete files form directory, whose are n-days datamodified, and Process will return count of deleted files (genrating log)..

I have almost done with this by using Forfiles, but i cant return deleted files count.

Second can anyone provide example of exception handling.


Bellow listed my code

@echo off
set max_days=7

set configPath=E:\Reports\fileConfig.txt

echo Configuration file located in %configPath%
echo last modified days : %max_days%
echo -------------------------------
echo.

for /f "tokens=*"  %%i in (%configPath%) do (

   call :ProcessLine %%i

)

pause
goto :EOF

REM Process each document
:ProcessLine

SETLOCAL  EnableDelayedExpansion

set line= "%*"

echo Removing files from directory : %line%

:: remove files from %path%
forfiles -p %line% -m *.* -d -%max_days% -c "cmd  /c echo. & echo Deleting file @file : file size = @fsize & del /q @path  "

echo ===============================
echo.

ENDLOCAL

goto :EOF

:EOF
