File Delete doesn't work correctly


Recommended Posts

Hi mates, I mamade this script to delete files of any directories, but only work in some directories,

I use it in my desktop and work. But I can delete files of "C:\*txt", I don't find any mistake.

borrar("C:\Users\Usuario\Desktop\a.txt")


Func borrar($var)


local $mylg = FileOpen("log.log",1)
local $delimiter="\"

;Obtener Path
$array =StringSplit($var,$delimiter)
$len=UBound($array)-1
$numero= $len-1
$num=StringInStr($var,$delimiter,0,$numero)
$dir=StringMid($var,1,$num)



if FileExists($var) Then
$search = FileFindFirstFile($var)


While 1
Local $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
If @error Then ExitLoop
if FileDelete($file)=1 Then
filewrite($mylg,$dir&$file & @CRLF)

else
filewrite($mylg, $dir & $file & " No se Pudo borrar" & @CRLF)
EndIf
WEnd
EndIf


FileClose($search)
fileClose($mylg)
EndFunc

here example from help file with simple change

; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory.
$dir = "C:"
$files = "*.txt"

$search = FileFindFirstFile($dir & $files)

; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
Exit
EndIf

While 1
$file = FileFindNextFile($search)
If @error Then ExitLoop
;FileDelete($dir & $file)
;MsgBox(4096, "File:", $file)
ConsoleWrite($dir & $file & @CRLF)
WEnd

search_all_eks("D:Test_Dir","txt,log",1)

Func search_all_eks($sPath,$sEks,$sShow = 0)
Local $search,$file,$result = "",$attrib,$eks,$i,$curEks,$found = 0,$curEksSplit
$eks = StringSplit($sEks,',')
$search = FileFindFirstFile($sPath & '*.*')
If $search = -1 Then
Return ""
EndIf
While 1
$file = FileFindNextFile($search)
If @error Then ExitLoop
$attrib = FileGetAttrib($sPath & '' & $file)
If @error Then

Else

If StringInStr($attrib, "D") Then
$result = $result & search_all_eks($sPath & '' & $file,$sEks,$sShow)
Else
$found = 0
$curEksSplit = StringSplit($file,'.')
$curEks = $curEksSplit[$curEksSplit[0]]
For $i = 1 To $eks[0]
If $curEks = $eks[$i] Then
$found = 1
ExitLoop
Else
$found = 0
EndIf
Next
If $found = 1 Then
If $sShow = 1 Then ConsoleWrite('+> ' & $sPath & '' & $file & @CRLF)
$result = $result & $sPath & '' & $file & '|'
Else
;ConsoleWrite('-> ' & $sPath & '' & $file & @CRLF)
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
;$result = $result & $file & '|'
;MsgBox(4096, "File:", $file)
WEnd
FileClose($search)

Return $result

Perhaps you don't have permission to delete the files.

Try using #RequireAdmin at the top of the script and see if you can delete the file from the root of the C: drive, it is probably a permissions issue as stated before. I see that you're on Windows Vista or 7, and there's a lot of restrictions regarding deleting and adding files to the C: root folder using those OSs.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I use #RequireAdmin But don't work.

but is rare because filedelete alone work, but in my function not work.,

I use w7 64x

this is a example of help files.

but I only chage the msgbox() for filedelet and don't work. with msgbox() work correctly

Local $search = FileFindFirstFile("C:public*.txt")

; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
Exit
EndIf

While 1
Local $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
If @error Then ExitLoop


FileDelete($file)
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)

You aren't specifying the folder name when you try to delete the file, FileFindNextFile returns file names without the path. Plus, you're not checking to see if the returned result is a folder or not, although I don't know if you have any folder names that end in .txt in the location you're looking.

FileDelete($file)
;should be written as
FileDelete("C:public" & $file)

local $mylg = FileOpen("log.log",1)


$dir=dir($var)




if FileExists($var) Then

$search = FileFindFirstFile($var)
$mydir=dir($var)

While 1
Local $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
If @error Then ExitLoop
if FileDelete($mydir&$file)=1 Then
filewrite($mylg,$dir&$file & @CRLF)

else
filewrite($mylg, $dir & $file & " No se Pudo borrar" & @CRLF)
EndIf
WEnd
EndIf


FileClose($search)
fileClose($mylg)
EndFunc

func dir($path)
local $delimiter=""
$array =StringSplit($path,$delimiter)
$len=UBound($array)-1
$numero= $len-1
$num=StringInStr($path,$delimiter,0,$numero)
$dir=StringMid($path,1,$num)
return $dir
EndFunc
