DelAge32/64, Version 2.55, © 2003-2016, Horst Schaeffer DelAge32 is a command line tool that deletes or moves files by age (number of days). The age is calculated as date difference (each date determined at local time). By default the "last modified" file stamp is taken to calculate the age (see options /created, /modified and the note about file stamps).
By default the console output lists all deleted or moved files with their age (number of days). The output can be redirected to a file (version 2.5: as UNICODE UTF-16 text by default; see /ANSIout). In case of any syntax errors the program will take no action. Maximum length of fully expanded command path: 260 characters.
Note about file stamps: Usually you would not expect that a file has been "modified" before it was "created". However, when a file is copied, for example, the new copy is "created" at the current date (obviously), whereas the "last modified" stamp is taken from the original file, because it is supposed to refer to the contents - not the physical file. Deleting folders: Delage32 deletes files, and optionally removes empty folders. Delage32 was not designed to delete directory structures depending on the age of the folder, regardless of the age of the files inside. Code page issues: Delage32 version 2.5+ handles UNICODE file names and paths (internally), and lists all file names correctly, provided that the characters are included in the UNICODE version of the console font. However, Windows' CMD console does not accept input from a UNICODE script file, and if the path in a delage32 command includes non-ASCII characters, you have to make sure that the console code page matches the code page of your CMD script file.
