delete *.ntx files

[franco]

I create a lot of temporary index`s in c:\mybrw folder. some do not get deleted.
When exiting program I would like to delete the undeleted temporary index`s. They all start with t and are .ntx files
delete 'c:\mybrw\t*.ntx'.
is there a way to delete *.ntx
Thanks in advance Franco

hi,

Franco,

Did you try with FERASE?
FERASE("C:\folder\t*.ntx" )

[edk]

hb_FileDelete(<cFileMask> [,<cAttr>]) ➜ lResult
removes files which match given <cFileMask> (it may contain path) and returns .T. if at least one file was deleted. Optional <cAttr> parameter can be used to include system "S" and hidden "H" files. If <cAttr> contains "R" letter then before deleting READONLY attribute is removed.

Serge, It would not work for me.
Edward, Yours worked perfect .
I create a folder in the c drive of every computer on the network. This is where I send temporary indexes witch all start with tf****.ntx
hb_FileDelete("c:\dir\tf*.ntx")
