Subject: [jdjlist] deleting files

Hi all,

 

I'm creating a file using  new FileOutputStream(fileName) ,where fileName is composed of a prefix taken with System.getProperty("OutFile", "\\Out") and the suffix is the current timestamp.

 

The thing is, I want to be able to delete all files with the same prefix that are older than X days (where X is also a parameter).

 

How do I do that?

 

Thanks,

 

Ron Sher
