Batch Script

[mannion]

Hi

I've never needed to make one in xp till now. The problem I've got is deltree doesn't exsist. How Do I get del *.* /q to also delete folders and subfolders????? any ideas????

Cheers

yep...

put this in a batch file eg treekill.bat

@echo off
echo y | del %1\*.*
rmdir %1
cls

then you call your batch file on each subdirectory...
eg
call c:\batch\treekill \test\bmp
call c:\batch\treekill \test\pag
call c:\batch\treekill \test
call c:\batch\treekill \bmp

can be useful... if u have a LOT of subdirectories, may be a way of getting it to obtain the name of each then remove it in a script.
