Delete all but latest "X" files per directory?

[James Johnson]

I have a set of directories that I can match with the pattern /foo/bar/<project>/<env>/<project>. What I need to do is delete all but the newest "X" from each directory that is a leaf-node.

When I do this:

<rule

    n="10"

    type="delete"

    match_type="file"

    match_pattern="/foo/bar/.../^.*\.tgz$”

    match_pattern_limit=”-3”

    match_pattern_limit_by=”age”

/>

it seems to find all files across all directories (except for the three newest). There are cases where I need that but also cases where I need to treat each directory individually.

Thoughts?

Hi James,
This requires a small change to the code to work as expected. I will push the code later.

Regards,
Simon.

Hi Simon,

Sorry I haven't had a chance to get back to you. Did you get a chance to look at this?

Thanks,

James

Hi James. Yes - updated package on Google code with new rule option group_by_directory.
