Hello Listers! I have been using a "Spam Filtering Program" called
"MailWasher" from a small developer in Australia called Nick Bolton. His
program has not finished yet and in the progressive beta editions of it,
log files are created for diagnostics and illumination for the
developer. Well the files are created whenever the program checks for the
mail. If you configure your email to be checked every 9 minutes like
myself you will discover lots of log files created in the root directory
and really fills up fast.
My intention is to create a script to move those files to the
C:\windows\temp folder and let the Maintenance Wizard execute the batch
script a few times a day. My problem is as follows: the files are called
socketlogn.txt. The "n" is equal to a consequent number with no limit to
the flow. So I do not know what to call the files if they are all named
differently based on number.
Does anyone know what I could possibly do. Using Win98SE and all I want is
to create a simple batch file something like this: echo off
move
c:\socketlogn.txt c:\windows\temp
cd\windows
c:\windows
cd temp
c:\windows\temp
del
c:\windows\temp\socketlogn.txt\*.*
exit
I was going to save it as a .bat and move the script to C:\windows\program
files and select that file as the one I want the Maintenance Wizard to
run. It really is not complicated, but I NEED to know what to call the
socketlogn.txt file so that ALL those type files move to the windows temp
folder.
My major weakness in computing is scripting, I know what i want to do but
have a hard time realizing the activity.
I know that of all of you out there, there must be someone who can unravel
this pesky mess.
Thank you!
