Hi:

How can I delete all files with the file name abc*.*?

Thanks
 
Depends, unix: rm abc*.* (use -f option only if you are really sure , some OS' will have this as required others wont, SCO for example does not need verification.

dos: del abc*.*

php : unlink('abc*.*') probably .. haven't tried this. ______________________________________________________________________
