SAA can move, copy or delete files. The affected files match a regular expression and optionally a last write date.

Requires a single command line parameter: the path to an XML file that contains the directives

Here is a sample XML File

All directives are contained in the root node "directives".

<directives test="true" verbosity="2" log="c:\log\">

• test: This is a Boolean value (true or false). When set to true no actions are taken, but messages are logged and displayed on what action would have happened.
• verbosity: 0-10. How verbose should the log and console output be? 0 = quiet through 10 = talkative.
• log: The path to the log file. This should specify the directory name, not a file name. If the directory does not exist it will be created.

All commands are separated into separate command nodes.

<command id="command_1" name="move" path="c:\foo\" mask=".*" daysOld="0" targetPath="c:\bar" inverseMask="false"/>

• id: The ID of the command. This is used in the log file and can help with debugging your directives.
• name: The name of the command to use. Valid names are move, copy and delete.
• path: The path to the source directory. This is where the command will be executed.
• mask: The RegEx pattern used to match file names.
• daysOld: This integer (whole number) is the number of days since the last write to the file.
• targetPath: This is where files will be moved or copied if the name of the command is "move" or "copy".
• inverseMask: This is a Boolean (true or false). When set to false, files that match the mask will be effected by the action. When set to true, files that don't match the mask will be effected by the action.

Use SAA at your own risk. If this causes damage to your data or hardware, sorry about that, you've been warned. (but feel free to report it)
