I never thought of actually checking to see what the value of %1 was. I just assumed (I know...) that it was just the file name. This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.

Re: Re[2]: [sniffer] auto update tmp files
Hi, I had trouble for a while with the "del %1" functionality, but I had a problem with the script running in the wrong directory. I [] Yeah, my script does explicitly enter the sniffer directory, and the line to delete the file is explicit as well: Del s:\imail\spool\%1 ...but that never worked. Maybe if I cd into the spool first it might It would not work because.. I have the %1 parameter in the email sent to me as part of the reporting. Using IMail 8.21 Here is what's in the email: Rulefile OK, updated C:\IMail\spool\tmp6C40.tmp As you can see the %1 is a complete path. So just Del %1 should do the trick.

Maybe if I cd into the spool first it might work, but it is working with current directive, which is: Del s:\imail\spool\*.tmp ...so I really don't have a compelling reason to test it.

It is always best to set the working directory at the top of any scripts that run as a "program alias" so that there is no question where they are running. I've learned that one the hard way a couple of times ;-) _M This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.

RE: [sniffer] auto update tmp files
Sorry I'm late. I had trouble for a while with the "del %1" functionality, but I had a problem with the script running in the wrong directory. I believe I added a "cd \sniffer2" type line and it worked thereafter like a charm.

The best way to get rid of the temp files is to delete %1 at the bottom of your update script. The name of the temp file is passed to the program by the alias. ;-) Hope this helps, Thanks, _M This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
