 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

If I can use FILES "*.LOG" and get a list of all the .LOG files. Why cant I use the wildcard to delete the files like KILL "*.LOG" ? OA47 |

PERHAPS a safety thing. If you were to accidentally use wildcards with KILL, you could delete a whole heap of files by mistake, and there is no recycle bin.  Just a guess. It may in fact be meant to work, so it might be a bug for all I know. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Thanks Bill, looks like the work around to delete 50 odd redundant .log files is by using the PC and not the mite. OA47 Edited 2022-04-09 16:16 by OA47 |
