Unable to delete some files

[sambuddy]

Hello, I've written a script that will create some text files. At the end of the script, I go through and delete all the files left in the directory. All but the text files get deleted.

Here is the code I am using to delete them.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Have you tried using FileClose on the text files to ensure that they are closed.

It would be easier to delete all the files first then create your text files afterwards unless it's really necessery for you to delete them after.

Try to change attributes of files. I prefer following way of file-delete

$error = FileSetAttrib( $file_name, "-RSH")
If $error <> 1 Then
  MsgBox(4096,"Attributes","Setting of attributes is not working" & @CRLF & $error)
  Exit
EndIf

$error = FileDelete( $file_name)
If $error <> 1 Then
  MsgBox(4096,"Deleting","Deleting error" & @CRLF & $error)
  Exit
EndIf

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your input and help. I have found the problem and a silly one it was. I was trying to close the file using it's name and not it's handle
