Delete files in a directory

jlett

In a dataport, I want first to verify if there are files in a directory and after delete them.


REPERTOIRE.SETFILTER(REPERTOIRE.path,'\\Srvpv2\commun\6_SAM\Fichiers tests\2004_10_22\');
REPERTOIRE.SETFILTER(REPERTOIRE.name,'*.txt');
IF REPERTOIRE.FIND('-') THEN
REPEAT
erase(REPERTOIRE.path+REPERTOIRE.name);
UNTIL REPERTOIRE.NEXT=0;

To find out which files exist is a certain folder, you can define a variable of type Record, subtype File, and place a filter on the Path field. Using a normal if Find('-') then repeat [...] until Next = 0 construct, you can then loop through the files, using FILE.ERASE to delete the ones you want to get rid of.
