I hope you enjoyed the article.

Interesting technique but there's another way to do this that doesn't require writing a program. You can use the QShell find command to delete files. Here's an example that delete's old PDFs more than 180 days old: <p>find -x /pdftemp -type f -name *.pdf -mtime +180 -exec rm {} ; <p>(you can read up on the find command by doing a Google search for "man find") <p>Because of the way QShell works, the find command can take a long time to work for a large number of files but besides being able to delete files, you can send the file name off to other QShell commands and scripts which opens up a lot of possibilites. <p>Matt

I was looking for a way to do this w/o having to write complex API programs and have flexability of getting specific files, for example just my own etc. This gave me a chance to learn some new techniques as well. Thank you for the tip I will look into it more when I have some extra time.
