#1 Search Pattern does not work

[Anonymous]

Special search pattern like *.tmp will not work with version 1.0
Also the recursive directory serach is not working if a pattern is used.

I have modified the code and it is working now.
I have also added a atime option for the last access time.

for details see the attached code

Both versions fail when I use it. I suspect it doesn't like the spaces or dashes in the file name.

Thanks Robert. This helped me.

For example, to delete GZipped (.gz) files but nothing else from the current directory and subdirectories:

xdel.exe -listonly -mtime Now-10d -filesonly -dolog -recurse ".\*.gz"

Remove "-listonly" to actually do the deletion.
