how to delete a file

[Moca04]

Hey All,

I'm having trouble deleting a file. The problem is given a file name, how do I retrieve its nodeVol and nodeID (basically the objInfo parameter). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can you be sure that the file name is unique ? if not, any search could turn up duplicates and any automated process could delete the wrong file.

I echo Greg's suggestion.But I think ListObjects is actually akin to calling

select * from dtree with a where condition

If you have the result set then it might just be case of employing your business rule for deletion such as whether the executing user has actually perms to delete.If you really wanted to do production worthy code you would enusre that you deleted versions,deleted the object,clean up hanging aliases etc.If you have time read up on the Library API and that has a whole lot of funcs for you to do




Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
