Hi

How can I remove (delete) more then one file from a folder? I don't know the name of the files. I have to delete all the files in this folder.

Thx for your answers

Hello,

Try searching for file and erase and you will find a lot of posts regarding files and erasing...

An example:

every thing works fine. but when I try to delete the files, I get a strange message from the system:

"The File Table is read-only"

But I've the permission to delete the files, when I go directly with Exporer. Do I have to setup up a permission?

Thx Again

Use the ERASE function. Part from the C/SIDE help follows:

ERASE (File)
Use this function to erase a file.

[Ok] := File.ERASE(Name)
Ok

Data type: boolean

This optional return value tells you whether or not the system erased the file.

Ok will be...
If the system...

TRUE Erased the file
FALSE Did not erase the file

Name

Data type: text or code

The name of the file you want to erase, including the path. When you enter the path, keep in mind these shortcuts

You can...
If the file is located...

Omit the drive designation On the current drive
Omit the full path In the current directory
Enter only the subdirectory name In a subdirectory of the current directory

Comments
If you do not use the return value, and the file cannot be erased (for any reason at all), a run-time error will occur. If you do include the return value in your code, you are supposed to handle any errors yourself.

hey Arhontis

so have a nice evening
