Forfiles [/p Path] [/m SearchMask] [/s] [/c Command] [/d [{+ |-}] [{MM/DD/YYYY | DD}]

 

[/P Path]: Specifies the Path. Of course, you can use ". "[/m SearchMask]: search method. The default value is *. * [/s]: searches through subdirectories, including the current directory [/d [{+ |-}] [{MM/DD/YYYY | DD}]: select a file whose date is greater than or equal to (+) (or less than or equal to (-) the specified date. By default, MM/DD/YYYY is the specified date, DD is the current date minus DD Day. The default value is DD. The effective range of DD is 0-32768. For example:/d-15: Search for files 15 days ago/d 2016/12/9: Specify the file date to be searched as [/c Command]: specify the command to be executed. The format is [/c "cmd/c rd/s/q @ path"]. The/c in double quotation marks is followed by the command to be executed. Variable: @ file display file name @ fname display file name without extension @ ext display file extension @ path display file complete path @ relpath file relative path @ isdir if file type is directory, the calculated value is TRUE. Otherwise, the value is FALSE. @ fsize indicates the file size in bytes. @ fdate indicates the Last modified Date stamp in the file. @ ftime indicates the last modified time stamp in the file.

Example

1. view the files or folders whose names include "--" in the "d: \ backup \ data" directory and whose modification time is greater than 15 days.

forfiles.exe /p d:\backup\data /m *-*-* /d -15 /c "cmd /c echo @path"

2. Delete,/s/q (files in the/s folder are also deleted, and the/q force delete operation is not prompted)

forfiles.exe /p d:\backup\data /m *-*-* /d -15 /c "cmd /c rd /s/q @path"

 

Note: paths do not support shared paths such as \ url \, rd (delete folders), and del (delete files)
