I have also done a general program with an ini file thats control this kind of function.
The ini file looks like this:
Code:
 # Day = Number of days from todays date that files should be kept. Day = 0 means that all file will be removed.
# Path = The path where the script should look in.
[Parameter]
Day=3
Path=C:\SomePath


Here is the kix code, I use a function called FlipcTime() I found in someones kix library.
Code:

$IniFile = ".\DelFile.ini"  
$LogFile = ".\DelFile.log"

$rc = RedirectOutput( "$LogFile" ,1 )
? "Start " + @Date + " " + @Time

$OneDaySec = 86400
$TodayVal  = FlipcTime(@DATE,"00:00")

If Exist( $IniFile )
 $Day  = ReadProfileString("$IniFile","Parameter","Day")
 $Path = Trim( ReadProfileString("$IniFile","Parameter","Path") )
Else
 ? "Cant find $IniFile"
 Exit
EndIf

$DelValue = $TodayVal - $OneDaySec * $Day
$FileName = Dir( $Path )
While $FileName <> "" And @ERROR = 0
 $File = "$Path" + "\" + "$FileName"
 $FiAt = GetFileAttr( "$File" )
 If $FiAt = 1 Or $FiAt = 2 Or $FiAt = 3 Or $FiAt = 32 Or $FiAt = 33 Or $FiAt = 34 Or $FiAt = 35 Or $FiAt = 128 ; Fil och ej Dir
  $FileDate = SubStr( GetFileTime( "$File" ) ,1,10)
  $FileVal  = FlipcTime( $FileDate,"00:00" )
  If $FileVal <= $DelValue
   Del "$File" /f /h
	? "remove file $File " + " / $FileDate with errorcode @Error"
  EndIf
 EndIf
  $FileName = Dir() ; retrieve next file
Loop

Exit

Function FlipcTime($date,$time,optional $tz)
	Dim $y,$m,$d
	$date = Split($date,"/")
	If Ubound($date) <> 2 Exit(1) EndIf
	$y=Val($date[0]) $m=Val($date[1]) $d=Val($date[2])
	If $m<3
		$m=$m+12
		$y=$y-1
	EndIf
	$Date=$d+(153*$m-457)/5+365*$y+$y/4-$y/100+$y/400-306
	$time = Split($time,":")
	Select 
		Case Ubound($time)=1
			ReDim preserve $time[2]
			$time[2]=0
		Case Ubound($time)=2
		Case 1
			Exit(1)
	EndSelect
	$time = (Val($time[0])*3600)+(Val($time[1])*60)+Val($time[2])
	$flipctime = IIf($tz,(($date-719163)*86400 + $time)-($tz*3600),($date-719163)*86400 + $time)
EndFunction


I then schedule this and I have this running on several servers to remove logs from several programs.
Works perfect.

Greetings, this is my first post and I'm certainly NOT of the programmer mindset so please excuse any terminlogy "dumbness" should there be any.

I have a task to delete audit files older than 90 days in a proxy server. The files to be deleted are log files with the suffix of *-access and *-access.gz.

I've tested Mima's script and this is great for a blanket deletion of everything with a directory however the folder is shared with other files which need to remain.

Would it be possible for Mima or one of you gurus to alter the script to select these file types, or post a suitable script which will achieve this?

Thank you for your assistance.
