You know ... i wasn't going to say anything but ... this is a classic example of where an answer has been given ... a very good answer ... [there is another one] ... and yet the original poster still can't work out what to do.

 

Do you want us to code your whole application for you ? ??  might be quicker!  Save everyone a lot of time!

 

[FYI: Examples of listing files in a directory are common ... check out the official documentation .. and also ... Google ... where i searched on "java listing files in a directory" and out comes a plethora of results:

List files with with java.io.File and java.io.FilenameFilter. Parse creation date from suffix's timestamp with java.lang.String and java.util.Date. Calculate date difference with java.util.Calendar. Delete file if difference greater than 4.

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
