Help, Filewrite/Deleting files/Wild cards

[trainwreck07]

Hi im new to autoit and would like to ask for some help/tips.

i am working on a script that will delete files in a certain directorey (for non malicious perpouses)

say delete

a Temporarey file on the c:/ drive.

well i was using autoit fine to create run then delete a .bat file on a users system

untill i encountered an error the error was when i was using autoit with filewrite, what it wrote was all together and not spead out

what i was expecting and hoping for was

command1

command2

command3

but what i got was

command1 command2 command3

im wondering if theirs a way i can make it spaced out. from what ive tryed i havnt found a way to send ENTER with filewrite.

heres my code if any one is wondering

filewrite($file,"")
sleep('500')
filewrite($file,$line1)
filewrite($file,$line2)
filewrite($file,$line3)
filewrite($file,$line4)
filewrite($file,$line5)
filewrite($file,$line6)
filewrite($file,$line7)

also i was wondering if their was a way to totally go and change my script and just have it delete the files from autoit itsself.

but i would have to find a way to change this

del /f /s /q %systemdrive%\*.tmp

into

delete / folder [dynamic systemdrive/leter] \ anything.tmp

does autoit have a wild card for doing such things?

thanks for all/any help i get.

Have a look in the help for FileWriteLine ,@SystemDir and Run

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "del /f /s /q " & @SYSTEMDIR & "\*.tmp", "", @SW_HIDE)

Would their be a way to display a list of files that were deleted as their being deleted in say a splash screen?

thank you.
