Deleting files in VB

[Ravi Sangisetti]

I want to delete some files based on some criteria.

I am using Dir() command to get the file name. I am checking the file name and deleting that file by Kill statement. But I can not use Dir() statement recursively.

1. Can U suggest optimized code for writing all the filenames in a directory into array.

Can I give a file some life time?. I mean to ask is when we create a file, Is there any option to delete it automatically after exactly a month.



I expect help from all U code gurus,

Instead of using the VB Dir command, I suggest that you use the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile windows API calls. These work similiar to the Dir command, but they have the added benefit of being recursive.
