- ZIPDEL.EXE
-
- FUNCTION: ZIPDEL is used to (1) clean up a directory by deleting the files
- that came out of archive (.ZIP) files, OR (2) clean up an ZIP
- file by deleting files in the ZIP file that exist in a
- directory.
-
- USAGE: ZIPDEL [zip_file_template]{.ZIP} {options}
-
- where:
-
- arc_file_template -- Archive file name, may be simple
- filename, full pathname, or template
- with wildcards.
-
- This argument is required. If it is not
- supplied, ARCDEL types out a help screen
- and quits.
-
- The default extension .ZIP is supplied
- if no extension is given.
-
- The full pathname may include drive
- specifier such as "A:".
-
-
- options -- Options must be listed singly and each
- one must be prefixed by the slash ("/")
- character AND spaced apart.
-
- In other words, /V /D is ok, /V/D is
- not.
-
- OPTIONS: V : Verify deletion by asking (yes/no) before deleting each
- file. You must type 'Y' to delete the file or 'N' to not
- delete it.
- F : Force delete on matching filename even if there is a
- mismatch in creation date, time or file size.
- T : Test -- no deletions at all, just report what would be
- deleted. This can be used if you want to experiment
- without actually deleting any files. It lets you see what
- will happen when you run ARCDEL without the /T switch.
- D : Deletes FROM THE ZIP FILE, NOT THE DIRECTORY.
-
- The options can be used in any combination.
