I want to write batch file which will loop through all directories containing backup directory and remove files older than X days within it. On computer which I want run my script there's no "forfile" command. There's no PowerShell, so CMD or VBScripts seems to be only way of accomplishing this task.

Currently I have problem with "set" statement - it seems that when I'm calling %checkpath% I didn't receive expected folder.

rem we will memorize current directory
pushd %cd%
set folder="C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Desktop"
cd %folder%
rem loop only folders with five chars within their names (unfortunately on less also
for /D %%g in (?????) DO (
    set checkpath="%cd%\%%g\backup"
    if exist %checkpath% (
        for %%a in ('%%g\backup\*.*') do (
        set FileDate=%%~ta
        set FileDate=%%FileDate:~0,10%%
        rem here I want to compare file modification data with current date
        )
    )
popd
pause
batch-file cmd
