People still use Windows98? It appears that the wildcard "?" means "null or matching character", so ".????.rvt" means "one or up to 4 characters before the .rvt", and not "4 characters before the .rvt" as intended. CCleaner appears to work in the same manner as the "dir" command does on XP/Windows2003/Windows2008/W7, and probably uses the same basic API, hence the same functionality. I'll have to look elsewhere for something with regex support to be able to clean out these files, or write something myself ...

I have define a few additional file patterns to be deleted by CCleaner on a schedule. However, it now appears it has deleted some files it was not supposed to delete. The FileKey in question is: FileKey3=G:\projects\projects|*.????.rvt|RECURSE This should find all files with a name, followed by "." followed by no more and no less than 4 characters, followed by ".rvt". This is the standard naming of temporary files used by "Revit". Unfortunately, it appears it is not working as it should. A file named "2851.09.rvt" was deleted, and it clearly is not a match for the defined pattern.

Since CCleaner already have the option to save the log file to a text file, would it be possible to add a command line option to automatically save the log to a file? Something like: "ccleaner.exe /l c:\temp\ccleaner.log" would be handy...
