- Introduction
-
- CDEL is used to delete mis-placed files automatically. At first I wrote
- it because from time to time I extract a just-downloaded shareware package
- into the current directory and all files are mixed up. It can also be
- used to clean up mis-copied files.
-
-
- Usage
-
- For example: You extract CDEL.ZIP into C:\, there are other important files
- like AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. Now, you may extract the archive into a
- new subdirectory like C:\NEWTOOL, then execute CDEL.EXE:
-
- C:\>C:\NEWTOOL\CDEL C:\NEWTOOL
-
- to clean C:\. (In this example, file both in C:\ and C:\NEWTOOL will be
- deleted.)
-
- IMPORTANT: CDEL will ONLY delete files in CURRENT directory! So you must
- execute it in the directory you want to clean. It is a good idea to put
- CDEL into your PATH directory.
-
- CDEL also support "DIR-style" filelist. All files in filelist and appear
- in current directory will be deleted. Note that only "DIR-style" filelist
- can be used. That is: only one file per line and filename listed first.
- Windows 95 and Windows NT style DIR list are not supported in this version.
-
-
- Commandline Parameters:
-
- Format: CDEL [/D /N /P /Q /X] file
-
- file: comparative directory or filelist to delete.
-
- /D: Delete different files. Maybe used to synchronize two
- directories.
- /N: Do nothing, just see what will happen.
- /P: Prompt before delete.
- /Q: Quiet, do not display filenames while deleting.
- /X: Do not verify. Without this parameter, CDEL will check
- file size and time stamps to ensure the files are same.
- Note that if you use "filelist", CDEL will NOT do any
- verify even without /X.
- /?: Display help message.
