Hunting for orphaned .bak files

Hello,

Is anyone aware of a program that will scan a directory or drive and fine all orphaned .bak files. By orphaned I mean a .bak file that does not have a .dwg file by the exact same name in the same directory. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

you could do it in vba or lisp pretty easy, You can access the cmd mode of the operating system and you would just do a dir *.dwg >dwglst then dir *.bak >baklst a simple program would read list 1 compare list two and delete files where they do not match.

There is a lot here on the forum it may take a bit of a search about copy files from one directory to another that would be a good starting point a word of warnig though anything that deletes files needs to be used with caution.
