delete "old" files automatically

[delta]

has anyone done a routine to delete files older than, say, 30 days old?

if so, is anyone willing to share how they did it?

I see a 'created date' in the file object actions, but I cannot seem to make the leap as to how I can zap the "stale" files

Could you be more specific to your reasoning? If the files are created by your app it may be easier to save a short form time stamp in the file name.

yeah,
I am creating .txt files

how would you implement what you are proposing?

Hi...

It also depends on exactly how you define "old" files.

Do you mean files created before a certain date, modified before a certain date or accessed before a certain date?

Is there an option to delete files in MMF2? :S

Use the file object, find files that you're interested in, compare the date of the file, and delete those older than your threshold.
