Hello people!

So I was wondering if it is possible to delete files starting with a certain name.

I need to replace old outdated files with new ones.

Say loads of files are like test4343434344 and test95458459495, all starting with "test", and I want to delete all files starting with "test".

Any help is appriciated!

Oyvlei - or should I say kidio007,

We do not permit multiple accounts here - shall I merge them for you? :huh:

Oyvlei,

The accounts are merged. And I suggest you read up on the Forum rules before you post again as your record so far is pretty dismal. ;)

As to your question, if the files are all in the same folder then you can use FileDelete with a wildard ("test*.*" should work) - if they are in several folders than you can use the _FileListToArrayRec function to list them and then loop through the returned array deleting them in turn by name. :)
