				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. |

Use [code] or [syntax] tags.
 
 
2)
 
Press F10.
 
 
3)
