Can the file delete itself?


Recommended Posts

Suggestion make an simple .bat file inn temp dir, witch deletes it after execution.

Monoceres tip inn the FAQ worked fine with a test script of mine.

There is usually just one reason why people want to delete their own files...

I use the _SelfDelete option myself, so I'm curious on what you think my one reason is whenever I use it.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

I believe it is a good thing to use for:

"I bet you can't do *this* with autoit!"

'Watch me!'

/they grin at free coding for malicious use

/you grin at them getting a sample that deletes itself after proving your elite knowledge

OR

Malicious program that causes harm while leaving no traces.

Am I even close?

Well, if that's your thoughts, you should probably stay away from using it.

I write roll out apps that launch helper executables, I could write one to maintain each of them, or I could just have them delete themselves as they finish their own tasks. The latter part of that is much easier to maintain.

Anonymouse understands what I was trying to say.

Yeah?

See, now that makes much more sense to me. I couldn't think of any reason it would need to be used for a good purpose, since you could have a main script delete a subscript just as easily as it could write it.

The only other option I could think of would be to delete freeware after a certain date, and if downloaded again have a temp file that would also delete that.

Anyways, thanks for the mind expansion :) Happy Coding

Seems to me... that you can't think of a legit reason, so there must be no legit reason?

Yes, there is:

Nah, again you're either not paying attention, and or are too close minded/paranoid. I said you can't think of a legit reason, therefore, in your mind, no reason can or should be legit.

If it were that big of an issue, the option would be built into SciTe.
