I would like a script that strips out all files uploaded before 1/1/91. However, more complex ones could produce lists of all files containing the letters xyz in their filename, sort them in directory order, remove all non-Amiga files etc. etc.... Who can come up with the best one ? Thanks... Amiga Users Group of Western Australia
