Deleting all files ending with the ".tmp" extension but ignoring "main.tmp"

[Hyflex]

Hey Guys,

I have no idea how to do this, but basically I have a folder that has main.tmp and various other temporary files but the other temporary files differ in names all the time, I want to delete ALL .tmp files with the EXCEPTION of main.tmp

Does anyone know how I can achieve this and if so, how would I do such a thing?

Thanks

Hyflex,

Use _FileListToArray to get an array of all the .tmp files and then loop through it deleting all but the one you wish to keep using a simple If structure.

; $myfolder = @scriptdir
FileMove($myfolder & "\main.tmp", $myfolder & "\main.bak")
FileDelete($myfolder & "\*.tmp")
FileMove($myfolder & "\main.bak", $myfolder & "\main.tmp")

A bit simpler using FileChangeDir

FileChangeDir($myfolder)
FileMove("main.tmp", "main.bak")
FileDelete("*.tmp")
FileMove("main.bak", "main.tmp")
FileChangeDir(@scriptdir)
