I am trying to create a script that moves files AND folders over 2 weeks old into a "old" folder.

Before I started moving things, I am trying to get the day values correct. I am having trouble with the script.

Code:

MainDir = C:\DOWNLOADS\*.*
Loop,%MainDir%
{
   var1= %A_Now%

   FileGetTime,var2,%A_LoopFileName%,C
   msgbox, todays date is %var1%
   EnvSub, var1,%var2%,days
   MsgBox, The file %A_LoopFileName% is %var1% days old
}
Return

Here is some code that I found & adapted from the forum

Code:
      ; Read the source directory for stat log files and move files greater than log_file_age days old
      dir_source = %A_MyDocuments%\AutoHotkey\ahkstatsfile\*.log
      dir_backup = \\%mybackupServer%
      lastDate := A_Now
      lastDate += -%log_file_age%, Days
      Loop, %dir_source%
      {
         SplitPath A_LoopFileFullPath, name, dir, ext, name_no_ext, drive
         FileGetTime time, %A_LoopFileFullPath%
         if (time <= lastDate)
         FileMove %A_LoopFileFullPath%,%dir_backup%\%name%,1
         FileDelete %A_LoopFileFullPath%,%dir_backup%\%name%
         if ErrorLevel <0>
         GoTo initialballoon


The log_file_age variable is defined in an .INI

edit : oopppps I reread the post.... this only does files and not directories
