Delete Specific Cookies

[JBeardNC]

I did a search for deleting cookies and I found ways to delete ALL cookies but wondering if anyone knows of a way to delete specific cookies. I need to delete, for example, any cookies like "*.google.com"

I tried using the FileListToArray function on my Cookies folder (Temporary Internet Files folder on Windows 7) and it doesnt seem to work like it does on any other folder.

Any thoughts?

Like this ?

_DeleteCookies ( "@google" )


Func _DeleteCookies ( $_String )
    ; google cookies
    ; C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Cookies\administrateur@google.co[1].txt
    ; C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Cookies\administrateur@google[2].txt
    ; C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Cookies\administrateur@google[3].txt
    $_CookiesDir = @UserProfileDir & '\Cookies'
    ;ConsoleWrite ( "$_CookiesDir : " & $_CookiesDir & @Crlf )
    $_TxtFileArray = _FileListToArray ( $_CookiesDir, '*.txt' ) ; _ArrayDisplay ( $_TxtFileArray )
    For $_T = 1 To UBound ( $_TxtFileArray ) -1
       If StringInStr ( $_TxtFileArray[$_T], $_String ) <> 0 Then FileDelete ( $_CookiesDir & '\' & $_TxtFileArray[$_T] )
    Next    
EndFunc ;==> _DeleteCookies ( )

Awesome!! That works great on an XP machine. Can't get it to work on Windows 7 though. The @UserProfileDir & '\Cookies' folder apparently does not exist or something because if I try and browse to that, I get access denied (strange). Any thoughts on how to get it to work on W7?

Nevermind... simple Google search reveals the location of cookies on Windows 7 PC's. I modified the variable and I'm good to go. Thanks!!!
