MSDOS Batch File Question!

[Maxwell2006]

Hi,

I am trying to write a batch file to delete all files older than one hour
within a folder.

Because of some restriction, I cannot use any 3rd party tool.

What would be the most efficient MSDOS batch file to that?

Any help would be appreciated,
Max

Can you use VBs [VBScript] or JS [JScript] ?

Can't be done in the Windows command prompt (what you call "MSDOS").
4NT from Jpsoft can do it with one command.

Then you're screwed. Your only options are to get that "restriction"
lifted or write a program or script not batch file) to examine file
dates and delete accordingly.
