large directory handling

2004-01-05 Thread Charles Harvey
Hello all, I am trying empty a directory with over 4000 files with a script, and do not understand why I can only delete half at a time. I am guessing that the directory handle has a size limitation?? Is there a way to load the contents into a large array or am I going about this all wrong?
