Introduction

File Sweeper is a convenient utility designed to allow the deletion of files created by

the build tools of Microsoft Visual C++.  It was designed to be used from the Tools menu

in Visual C++.

File Sweeper presents a list of files that are created during the build process of Visual C++ and

allows all or some of the files to be deleted.


Using File Sweeper

Using File Sweeper is quite simple.  The main display consists of a menu bar, tool bar, and list box.

All the File Sweeper specific speakers are available on the tool bar, so I will only describe those.

Options such as those on the View menu are standard MS-Windows commands.

This option deletes all files listed in the list box.  If the Prompt Deletion option is on,

a message box will prompt you for confirmation of the deletion.

This option becomes available when files in the list box are selected.  When Delete is

pushed, selected files will be deleted.  If the Prompt Deletion option is on, a message

box will prompt you for confirmation of the deletion.

This option updates the list of files in the list box.  This is useful after changing the list

of extensions to be displayed in the list box.  An Update operation is automatically performed

whenever the current drive or directory is changed with the Change Directory Dialog.

This option displays the Extentions Info Dialog.  The Extentions Info Dialog allows you

to change the list of extensions.  See Configuring File Sweeper for more

information.

This option displays the Change Directory Dialog.  The Change Directory Dialog allows you

to change the current working drive and directory.  If you press OK to exit the dialog, the current

working drive and directory will be changed and an update operation will be performed.

This option displays the About Dialog.


Configuring File Sweeper

File Sweeper is configurable using the Extentions Info Dialog.  This dialog allows the

convenient editting of parameters stored in the SWEEPER.INI file (stored in the Windows directory).

For each extension, you can change :

1) The path to files of this extension (relative to the current project directory).

2) The description of this extension type.

3) Whether or not files with this extension are displayed in the list of files to be deleted.

Once you press OK in the Extentions Info Dialog, configuration information is saved to the

SWEEPER.INI file.


Shareware Information

This program is ShareWare.  If you use File Sweeper for more than 14 days, you should register

the software with the author.  If you choose not to register, you should discontinue use of File Sweeper.

Registration entitles you to the latest version of the software on diskette.  Also, the About dialog box will not pop up when the program is started.
