Afternoon all, >> how about a commandline tool which can automatically delete a whole >> directotry tree with all files in it? :-) Go to Dilwyn's website and download the source code for Winback. (A hard disc backup tool "wot I wrote"!)
In there is a utility called something like "build_directory_tree_bas" - but don't quote me. In that utility, there is a recursive Superbasic routine to walk a directory tree and add the directory name(s) to a list of data statements in a program (that the utility generates) to rebuild the full directory tree before doing a restore. I'm certain that the code in that recursive routine coun be easily modified to delete all the non-directory files and then the directory. If you find that too easy, re-write it in assembler! :-) Cheers, Norman. -- Norman Dunbar Dunbar IT Consultants Ltd Registered address: Thorpe House 61 Richardshaw Lane Pudsey West Yorkshire United Kingdom LS28 7EL Company Number: 05132767 _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
