goodmanjl531 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am tring to do some automated HDD cleanup and I have no issues with individual file deletion, I cant get multiple folders to delete using a wild card. #include <Array.au3> #include <Date.au3> #include <File.au3> #region SLU***.TMP Files-Folders FileDelete("C:\Windows\TEMP\slu*.tmp") DirRemove("C:\Windows\TEMP\slu*.tmp",1) #endregion SLU***.TMP Files-Folders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Solution Melba23 Posted January 23, 2014 Moderators Solution Share Posted January 23, 2014 goodmanjl531,It seems that DirRemove does not honour wildcards - it does not say that it does in the Help file and my testing confirms that.So you will have to list the folders using _FileListToArray and then remove them individually - this code works for me: #include <File.au3> $sPath = "M:\" ; Change to match your required path $aList = _FileListToArray($sPath, "slu*.tmp", 2) For $i = 1 To $aList[0] DirRemove($sPath & $aList[$i], 1) NextM23 Fr33b0w and SamsonSlice 2 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
