wtf?
the txt file was supposed to have the darn directory names in there.

slow down and carefully plan the steps to take.
it's not as complex as it looks.

It does, that was just one of the many things I have tried to get this to work
some of the directories are:
pics from home
my profile.backup
hotties

basicly just a bunch of junk
one of the other admins on base
told my users to save there personal
junk under program files

Code:
Break On
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')
 
Dim $File
For Each $File In ReadFile('\\Server\Share\delete_these_files.txt')
If Exist('C:\Program Files\'+$File)
? 'C:\Program Files\'+$File
del "C:\Program Files\"+$File+"\*.*" /s /c
? @serror
rd "C:\Program Files\"+$File /q
? @serror
endif
next 
 
Function ReadFile($file)
  Dim $lf, $f, $_, $t
  $lf=CHR(10)
  $f=FreeFileHandle
  $_=Open($f,$file)
    If @ERROR Exit @ERROR EndIf
    Do $t=$t+$lf+ReadLine($f) Until @ERROR
    $_=Close($f)
  $ReadFile=Split(SubStr($t,2),$lf)
EndFunction

Code:
C:\test.kix

C:\Program Files\Directory
The system cannon find the file specified.

When you run the script use the following:
Code:

c:\myscripts\kix32 myscript.kix /d


This will allow you to step through the script and see what it is doing on each line and you can look at what the variables are being set to .

Read up on the Debug section in the manual.

If you are running it in Debug mode when you get to this line
del "C:\Program Files\"+$File+"\*.*" /s /c

pay attention to what the error code returned is.

Using the ? @serror should tell you exactly why it is not deleting the files. From the output you posted earlier it is returning Access is denied.

If this continues to hold true, look at what the permissions for that directory are for the account that is running the script.

correction!!
if i create a directory and it is empty it works...well it
deletes the dir anyway
the output is
Code:
C:\test.kix
C:\Program Files\tester
The system cannot find the file specified.
The operation completed successfully
C:\Program Files


however if i put something in the directory it fails
to delete it and i get the system cannot find the file specified and the dir is not empty errors

well, you are trying to delete "c:\program Files" as one.
I know that someone might wanna do that, but that's why you get the error 5.

deletion of non-empty dir is currently supported only by 4.52 beta 1.

change your loop:
Code:

For Each $File In ReadFile('\\Server\Share\delete_these_files.txt')
If Exist('C:\Program Files\'+$File)
? 'C:\Program Files\'+$File
del "C:\Program Files\"+$File+"\*.*" /s /c
? @serror
rd "C:\Program Files\"+$File /q
? @serror
endif
next


to:
Code:

For Each $File In ReadFile('\\Server\Share\delete_these_files.txt')
 If Exist('C:\Program Files\'+$File) and len(join(split($File),""))
  ? 'C:\Program Files\'+$File
  rd "C:\Program Files\"+$File /s
  ? @serror
 endif
next


note, this rd /S need the new beta.

k, then you can add your lines back.
Code:

For Each $File In ReadFile('\\Server\Share\delete_these_files.txt')
 If Exist('C:\Program Files\'+$File) and len(join(split($File),""))
  ? 'C:\Program Files\'+$File
  ? 'Deleting Files -> '
  del "C:\Program Files\"+$File+"\*.*" /s /c
  @serror
  ? 'Removing the Directory -> '
  rd "C:\Program Files\"+$File /q
  @serror
 endif
next

getting closer!!!

here is my test.kix
Code:
Break On
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')

Dim $File
For Each $File In ReadFile('\\Server\share\delete_these_files.txt')
 If Exist('C:\Program Files\'+$File) and len(join(split($File),""))
  ? 'C:\Program Files\'+$File
  ? 'Deleting Files -> '
  del "C:\Program Files\"+$File+"\*.*" /s /c
  @serror
  ? 'Removing the Directory -> '
  rd "C:\Program Files\"+$File 
  @serror
 endif
next
 
Function ReadFile($file)
  Dim $lf, $f, $_, $t
  $lf=CHR(10)
  $f=FreeFileHandle
  $_=Open($f,$file)
    If @ERROR Exit @ERROR EndIf
    Do $t=$t+$lf+ReadLine($f) Until @ERROR
    $_=Close($f)
  $ReadFile=Split(SubStr($t,2),$lf)
EndFunction


my delete_these_files.txt
Code:
pics from home
my profile.backup
hotties
tester


and here is the output (when the tester dir is empty) (tester is a dir i creted myself to test the scrip)
Code:
c:\test.kix

C:\Program Files\pics from home
Deleting Files -> Access is denied.
Romoving the Directory -> The directory is not empty.
C:\Program Files\my profile.backup
Deleting Files -> The system cannot find the file specified.
Removing the Directory -> The Directory in not empty.
C:\Program Files\hotties
Deleting Files -> The system cannot find the file specified.
Removing the Directory -> The Directory in not empty.
C:\Program Files\tester
Deleting Files -> The system cannot find the file specified.
Removing the Directory -> The operation completed sucessfully.


when the tester dir is NOT empty i get
Code:
C:\Program Files\tester
Deleting Files -> The system cannot find the file specified.
Removing the Directory -> The directory is not empty


I can manualy delete the files so I'm sure it's not a permissions problem.

Fixes/enhancements in 4.20:
...
- Added recursion ('/s') to COPY and DEL




so, change:
del "C:\Program Files\"+$File+"\*.*" /s /c

to:
del "C:\Program Files\"+$File+"\*.*" /c
