Variable within fso.deletefile command. Help

[Powertron]

I'm a beginner. Can't get syntax right.

the command is like this:
fso.deletefile("c:\vrsv\temp\variable\*.*")

the variable is what changes depending on a regread I do earlier.
I've used chr(34) & ...
If you anyone could assist.
anyone has a tutorial on inserting variables in vb commands include that too.

fso.deletefile("c:\vrsv\temp\[!]" & [/!]variable[!] & "[/!]\*.*")

if variable contains a space (eg. "old files") then encapsulate the whole path with chr(34)

fso.deletefile(chr(34) & "c:\vrsv\temp\" & variable & "\*.*" & chr(34))
