Deleting old files in directory ?

[Z Zia]

Hello,

I have some apps that process files and move them in a backup directory. I wish to delete old files from that directory and automate application; please suggest:

1. How can app delete files after a specific date. Example: I wish to delete all files that are more than 14 days old in a directory?

2. Please share code if somone has already develop this sort of component/ function.

Regards,

Use java.io.File.listFiles() to get a list of the files in a directory, and then just use lastModified() to check the age of each file.
