Ok, I got my program to delete a file of my choice on any given location on my computer, assuming of course i enter the correct pathname. When i tried to use the same code to delete a folder, I got an error msg "Access (permission) denied" % The "File.Delete" program. const pathName : string := "C:\\WINDOWS\\Desktop\\Test" % Create file var f : int var line : string open : f, pathName, put put : f, "There is a line here" close : f put pathName, " created" % Delete the file File.Delete (pathName) if Error.Last = eNoError then put skip, pathName, " deleted" else put skip, "Did not delete ", pathName put "Error: ", Error.LastMsg end if Thats the code I used (the code is an altered version of the example in the help section) (its supposed to delete a folder named "Test" on my desktop). Is there any hope? Thanks in advance. |

1) Use [code] or [syntax] tags. 2) Press F10. 3) Search for Dir. commands. |
