Automatically delete files after a certain date

[Allan Martin]

Hello,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to write a java program
which will delete some directories in a specific windows directory
after they are more the 14 days old.

Many thanks in advance,

Allan

Look at

File.listFiles()
File.lastModified()
File.delete()

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/file.html
to get a list of files in a directory and how to find out how old they
are and how to delete them. put it all together ... 14 days is 14 *
24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 millis.


see also http://mindprod.com/jgloss/filter.html for how to write a
Filter to let through only such files.
