Hi,

I have a small task which I was considering using ruby for - if anyone has a
minute and could quickly type in the ruby code (assuming its a few lines)
that would be fantastic. The spec is:

Input

   - Small ruby program needs to be triggered by a windows batch file (
   i.e. called out from within a windows batch file)
   - The batch file will be provided (from the program that kicks it off)
   with a variable containing a filename

Processing

   - Take the filename as input
   - To search for files under a given directory (so in including
   sub-directories) and delete any files which match the conditions:
      - (size < 7kb) AND (size > 5kb)
      - file is closed (i.e. don't want to pick up a file currently
      being written to by the program which may be just starting to grow)
      - Optionally (not sure yet) - May want to limit the files to
      those which match a wildcard version of the filename which was
      provided by the batch file (e.g. if filename was "
      thisfile-v22.mpg", may want to filter on only files matching "
      thisfile*" if that makes sense.

Output

   - No real output required, however if it was simple a log file which
   was appended to with Date/Time, FileDeleted may be nice


Thanks in advance
Greg
