Date sensitive deleting

Can anyone help me write a batch file that will delete files with dates older than 1 week earlier than today's date.
I know you can get today's date from the DATE command, but how can I subtract 7 days and use that date as a switch in my ERASE command?

 

Interesting.

I don't think it can be done only by using DOS's inbuilt commands, we may have to search for a utility to get the difference between current date & the target date and write it to a file, another erase utility which woud take this file as an input & do the job for you. Simple.

 

Might try "IsDate" on this Horst Schaeffer batch file page:

Thanks for the suggestions

 

You're welcome.

 

For anyone who's interested, delage32 does exactly what I needed.
