Can Batch File Hold In Memory

Question

I was wondering...... I have a batch file that checks my entire hard drive. Once the batch has run, is there a way for it to retain in memory what it saw so the next time it runs, it will be quicker. Only comparing the changes so to speak.
Thank you.

Thank you. I will read it, and try. Is it better than batch files? Will it integrate with c++ better?

Yes, It is better than batch files. Powershell can be integrated easly with managed C++

Not really, the file system will cache the files and directory information, but this is not saving the information you want.

You can do fancy things in batch files but this is extreme, cryptic and not advised. Check JPsoft TCC/LE

You are better off doing these things in "higher level languages".

Ohhhhhhhh. I was hoping. I did not want to go to a batch file for this but it seems that I have no choice. I want to delete a file that I don't know it's name or location. Only it's Creation/Modified time within in a minute and only the batch could do it. And that was hard enough!!!!!!! With lots of help!!!
