#73722 - 2003-02-27 09:49 AM Parameters of DEL command don't work....
Luke van der Laan Luke van der Laan Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-02-27 Posts: 9	Hi, I wanted to write a little script that deleted all temporary files from a user's profile. I use the following line: del "c:\documents and settings\" + @USERID + "\*.tmp" /h /s But the parameters for hidden files and subdirectories don't work. If I remove the parameters, it will delete only non-hidden files, and no files from subdirs. If I add the parameters, no files are deleted at all! What's the problem, is it a bug, or have i made a syntax error? Thnx...

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Actually the solution of this was undocumented and Lonkero found it Yesterday ... Try and change the path to the root folder were you want to delete recursively by using the CD command (KiX) before the DEL line here a link : DEL /S /H [ 27.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	that is not true. but with /s you can't use foldernames. see the beta-forum topic on del ( http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000390 ) for more information. it indeed works but not as expected. no reply from ruud yet... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Luke van der Laan Luke van der Laan Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-02-27 Posts: 9	Hmmmm... It seems to work, but the hidden temporary files aren't deleted at all. Seems like there's a problem with the DEL command, think we need an update...

Luke van der Laan Luke van der Laan Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-02-27 Posts: 9	Ok thnx the update works fine. But I have another problem, I also need to delete files from subdirectories in subdirectories. The command doesn't seem to support this... Is there some other way to do this?

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	this fix should work. del "." /s should delete all files from all subdirectories recursively. if it does not, please report. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
