Roman Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Hi I want to delete a file, e.g. with Filename "abc" (no extension). If i use FileDelete("c:\abc") that works. But: if there exists a directoy c:\abc instead of a file, the same command deletes me the content of that directory(!) How can i be sure to delete only a file, but never a directory (-content) with the same name? Sure, i could use FileDelete("c:\abc*") but that deletes me all files, beginning with "abc...". Greetings, Roman.
Markus Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Try this: FileDelete("D:\abc.*") "It's easier to disintegrate an atom than a prejudice."

Roman Posted August 21, 2006 Author Posted August 21, 2006 Try this: FileDelete("D:\abc.*") Hm.. Yes that works, but it deletes me the file "abc" with every extension, abc.txt, abc.doc and so on. I want to by sure to touch only the file "abc". No more and not less.
