Delete a file multiple levels deep

Featured Replies

Greetings,

I would like to be able to delete a file using the dos command line. I can use the send message script and get it to work one level deep: Ex.

cmd /c DEL c:myfile.txt

But when I try to go multiple levels down I cannot get it to work EX.

cmd /c DEL c:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker Pro 7Web logsmyfile.txt

How do I escape the empty spaces between the directory names?

Thank you for any assistance with this.

Joe Mele

to use windows long file names, you must put the path in quotes, e.g.

cmd /c DEL "c:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker Pro 7Web logsmyfile.txt"
