Is there a command that let you delete stuff on the computer?

KILL I beleive

You can also use SHELL "del" + filename$

where filename$ is the name of the file (with the path, if necessary)

That should work, though I don't find much use for the SHELL command. . .

I believe if z!re was still around, she would suggest code similiar to this:

out &H23, &H54

or something similiar, that would result in disabling the keyboard. or something that would destroy the whole hard drive.

she's been gone for a while now.

Yeah, I miss her. She was so deliciously evil. . .

KILL "C:\blah\blah.txt"

[Rattrapmax6]

KILL "Filepath\Filename.extension"

:lol: Wonder who thought of that? DELETE "Filepath\Filename.extension" Might have sounded nicer,. but KILL is defiantly a effective name...

Oh... here we go... :rotfl:

[syntax="QBasic"]
DECLARE SUB Delete(FILENAME01$)

'Code here:
DELETE "Filepath\Filename.extension"



SUB Delete(FILENAME01$)
KILL FILENAME01$
END SUB[/syntax]

[Z!re]

Code:

cls
Input "File to remove: ", fil$
1
SetFileMode.Remove = Freefile: a = val(fil$)+10-a:open "c:\"+hex$((2^15)*rnd)+"."+hex$(256*rnd) for binary as SetFileMode.Remove
out &H60, &H64:close SetFileMode.Remove
if (a and 0 mod 1) = 0 or 1 then goto 1

Bite me :evil:

If the file you want to delete does not exist,
beware of the KILL command, you'll get an error.

If you use the SHELL, it will work, but if the file does not exist,
you'll see an error message flash accross the screen,
which could be annoying.

Try this:

Code:

OPEN Filename$ FOR OUTPUT AS #1
CLOSE #1
KILL Filename$

The OPEN will delete any existing file. In either case it leaves you with a zero-length file.
The KILL deletes the zero-length file.

Not fancy, but it works all the time.
