Hello Everyone,
Thanks for all the input on my batch file problem, but I have
solved it, (or almost solved it) with a tiny .com program written
with debug. Thanks very much to Bjorn from Norway for emailing
me the instructions on how to do this.
Heaps of chocolate cake to you Bjorn! :)
The only little problem left is this: To use this .com program
I need a to generate a text file of nothing but filenames, like
so-
horses.txt
birds.txt
zebras.txt
camels.txt
Using FIND [find /f elephant *.txt > zoo.txt] generates a file
like this:
c:horses.txt
c:birds.txt
c:zebras.txt
c:camels.txt
As it is now I have my batch file set up to load my text editor
so I can edit c:'s out of the text file, and then run the .com
that deletes the files. This is fine and I'm quite satisfied
with it the way it is....
But if anyone knows a way to strip the c:'s out without loading
the text editor I'm open to suggestions.
Boanne
