  • 0

Trying to delete .exe files of a set size, recursively – but VBscript is not my forte, Can anyone see an obvious reason for it not working recursively?

OPTION EXPLICIT
DIM strFolder
DIM objFSO

strFolder = "C:\TESTFOLDER"

set objFSO = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

RecursiveDelete strFolder

wscript.echo "Finished"

sub RecursiveDelete(byval strDirectory)
    DIM objFolder, objSubFolder, objFile

    set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
    for each objFile in objFolder.Files
            if ( RIGHT(UCASE(objFile.Path),4) = ".EXE" ) AND (file.Size == 47232 ) then
                wscript.echo "Deleting:" & objFile.Path
                objFile.Delete
            end if
    next

    for each objSubFolder in objFolder.SubFolders
        RecursiveDelete objSubFolder.Path
    next
end sub

    This:

    if ( RIGHT(UCASE(objFile.Path),4) = ".EXE" ) AND (file.Size == 47232 ) then
    

    should be:

    if ( RIGHT(UCASE(objFile.Path),4) = ".EXE" ) AND (objFile.Size = 47232 ) then
