I would guess at using SENDKEYS.

Had another brainwave!

Try

CD "c:\windows\temp"
DEL "*.*"

The manual says DEL does not prompt for user intervention.

I was thinking of SENDKEYS for use with a batch file!

Weird it works for me!

Ok what clients? NT4 or Win9x ?

I also ran the two lines in debug mode and then checked c:\windows\temp and files had gone!

Post the code you are working with and any other relevant info.

Del C:\windows\temp\*.tmp

but if you wanted to use it in a login script, Del C:\windows\temp\*.tmp /y should do it.

But nothing works in comination with kix32.

nick

SHELL "%COMSPEC% /C del c:\windows\temp\*.*"

A guess here as I have not used this function before!

SENDKEYS "Y {ENTER}"

Hope this helps.

script error : unknown command !.
SENDKEYS ("y {enter}")

here is some code that will remove all files and directories in the %temp% directory.

you can also download the file here
http://www.neosoft.com/~brycel/kix/other_scripts/del_temp/del_temp.kix

code:

---

break on cls
$tempdir = "temp1.dat"
$tempfile = "temp2.dat"
dim $tempdir_data[99999]
:wrong
? "This will Delete all files and Directories in" 
? "%temp%!!!  are you sure?(y/n)" 
get $yn
select
	case lcase($yn) = "y"
		;run rest of code
	case lcase($yn) = "n"
		exit
	case 1
		goto wrong
endselect

shell "%comspec% /c dir %temp% /ad /b /s > $tempdir"
shell "%comspec% /c dir %temp% /a-d /b /s > $tempfile"
? "Deleting the files in %temp%" 	gosub kill_files
? "Removing all Directories in %temp%"	gosub Kill_directories
del $tempdir
del $tempfile
exit

;----------------------------
	:Kill_Files
;----------------------------
$q = open(1,$tempfile)
$tempfile_data = readline(1)
while @error = 0
	del $tempfile_data
	$tempfile_data = readline(1)
loop
$q = close(1)
return
;----------------------------
     :Kill_directories
;----------------------------
$array_count = 0 
$q = open (1,$tempdir)
$tempdir_data[$array_count] = readline(1)
while $tempdir_data[$array_count] <> ""
	$array_count = $array_count + 1
	$tempdir_data[$array_count] = readline(1)
loop
$q = close(1)
rd $tempdir_data[$array_count]
while $array_count >= 0
	rd $tempdir_data[$array_count]
	$array_count = $array_count - 1
loop
return

Also one person has said that they didn't want to shell to a DELTREE because that was slowing down his script...

and I wanted something to do I was trying to not use a shell command at all but the dir() command won't do subdirectories and i find it a little buggy at times.

it looks nice, but there is a script error : unkwon command: dim $tempdir_data[99999]
What to do on this ?
