Flowscript - delete file

[Peter Sparkes]

Hi,

I am trying to delete xml files using the following flowscript:

   function deletefile() {

        //file to be deleted
        var file = Packages.java.lang.String(cocoon.parameters["file"]);

        try {
            // creating a link to the file to be deleted
            var xml_file = 
Packages.java.io.File("D:\cocoon-2.1.11-wl\build\webapp\B&B\xml" + file
   + ".xml");

            //Delete file
            Packages.java.io.File.xml_file.delete();

            //  .txt file with OK message
            cocoon.sendPage("success.txt", null);
        }
        catch(ex){
            cocoon.log.error(ex);
            // Smth. went wrong. Sending a error.txt file to the browser
          cocoon.sendPage("error.txt", null);
        }

   }

and get "Compilation produced 1 syntax errors"

The error log contains:

   ERROR ............    deletefile.js", line 13: missing name after . operator

line 13 is:

   Packages.java.io.File.xml_file.delete();

What I am doing wrong?
