- THE PURPOSE OF LED:
- LED is the converse of the DOS "DEL" command. That is, it deletes files in the
- specified path NOT matching the given filespec(s). For example, if you wish to
- delete all files in a given directory that are not .ZIP files, LED is the
- answer. It is completely command-line compatible with the DOS DEL command,
- except that it allows extra options such as multiple filespecs.
-
-
- USAGE: LED [drive:][path]filename-1 filename-2 filename-3...filename-n
-
- EXAMPLES: C>LED *.ZIP
- C>LED d:\temp\PK*.ZIP
- C>LED a:*.exe *.com autoexec.bat config.sys
-
-
- USING LED:
- Basically, using LED is exactly like using the DOS "DEL" command. You start
- with the command name (LED), followed by an optional drive letter, path and
- filespec. By "filespec," we mean filename or wild cards (*, ?, *.??, etc.) or
- a combination or the two. Let's take a look a the examples shown individually.
-
- EXAMPLE #1: In the first example we have "C>LED *.ZIP" on the DOS command
- line. If we were using DEL rather than LED this would delete all files with
- ".ZIP" extensions. Instead, LED will delete all files in the default
- directory that do not have ".ZIP" extensions.
-
- EXAMPLE #2: The second example above shows "C>LED d:\temp\PK*.ZIP" on the
- command line. Again, using DEL as a counter-example, substitut-
- ing DEL here would delete all files in the "\TEMP" directory of
- "D:" drive that start with "PK" and end with ".ZIP." LED will,
- of course, delete all files in the "\TEMP" directory of "D:"
- drive, EXCEPT those beginning with "PK" and ending with ".ZIP."
-
- NOTE: LED, like DEL is not case sensative. Use upper or
- lower letters in any combination.
-
- EXAMPLE #3: Finally, we have "C>LED a:*.exe *.com autoexec.bat config.sys"
- as our last example. This example demonstrates how LED differs
- syntactically from DEL, making it more powerful than early
- versions and superior to many similar utilities. Notice that
- there are extra parameters. Now we are able to delete all
- files in a specified path, except those matching one -- or
- multiple -- file specification(s). LED used as shown in this
- example will delete all files on "A:" drive that are not ".EXE"
- files, ".COM" files or "AUTOEXEC.BAT" or "CONFIG.SYS."
-
-
- SAFETY:
- As with most powerful utilities, LED can be a bit hazardous if you don't know
- what you're doing. We've encorporated an important safety feature into LED
- that should help you avoid most disasters. If LED finds no files matching in
- any of your filespec's (which should not be deleted), it simply does nothing.
- This is significant because if LED finds nothing matching your filespec it,
- logically, it should remove everything in its path (similar to agent orange).
-
- Once you become familiar with how LED works, you will find it to be FAST,
- FRIENDLY and INTUITIVE. It will take a couple of practice LED'tions for most
- people to become comfortable. We recommend creating a "\TEST" directory and
- coping some files into it so you can practice safely.
