Paul,
In my command file I use the following command to get rid of all the temporary
files created when the last user logs out:
SET VAR vconnections =(CVAL('CONNECTIONS'))
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2077 OFF
IF vconnections = 1 THEN
DEL *.$$$
ENDIF
SET ERROR MESSAGE 2077 ON
As far as I know it works correctly. If you have blanks in your path, you might
try building up the variable with the path and criteria and using the ampersand:
SET VAR vcommand = ('D:\CAD\*.bak ')
DEL &vcommand

Subject: [RBASE-L] - How to Globally Delete Files from Subdirectories
Good Afternoon,
I'm using the latest build of eXtreme 9.5 (64) and I've got a compiled
application that is not working correctly in one spot. I am trying to delete
all the BAK files in all the subdirectories of a folder. The following worked
for quite a while and now appears to be not working:
SET VAR vdblquote = (CHAR(34))
SET VAR vcommand = ('zip cmd /c' & 'DEL' & .vdblquote + 'D:\CAD\*.bak /s /q' +
.vdblquote) &vcommand
Any blues clues as to where to start looking or what to do differently?
TIA,
Paul Buckley
