XPdel()
Delete More files at once
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function: XPdel()
XPdel() could be described as the Clipper equivalent of the
DOS del Command. It allows the (fast) deletion of quite
some files at once, by using FCB calls. It can also be
used on networks (I noted). In contrast to Clipper's
ferase(), XPdel() requires the files to be in the current
directory, but XPdel() can delete File Masks.
be aware, for instance, that:
XPdel('*.*')
removes all the files from your current directory.
Syntax: XPdel(<cMask>) --> lCode
Arguments: <cMask> is the file (or file Mask) to delete.
Returns: .t. when file(s) deleted, .f. otherwise.
Note that you may just ignore the return codes.
Typically, one would delete temporary, or all index
files with this command.
Usage: XPdel('*.NTX') /* Ok */
XPdel('\DATA\*.BAK') /* <-- NOT OK!!!! */
/* Path may not be submitted! */
