- SCLEAN.DOC -- Subdirectory Clean Utility 01/21/86 -- by Michael F. Roberts
-
- SCLEAN.COM is a utility program for MS-DOS or PC-DOS, version 2.0 and
- up. It allows you to do a wildcard delete on certain filenames throughout
- an entire hard disk directory. (It searches through subdirectories as well
- as the root to find files matching the filespec given on the command line.)
- After each file found, you are prompted to verify that it is OK to delete
- the specified file. The syntax for using this utility is:
-
- SCLEAN [d:] filename
-
- SCLEAN begins searching in the root directory and then scans any subdirec-
- tories that exist. Whenever a filename is found that matches the one you
- specify, SCLEAN will print out the filename and its path and then wait for
- you to enter a Y or a N. Choosing a Y will cause the file shown to be deleted,
- an N will skip deletion of the file and continue searching for the next match.
- Any response other than a Y or N will cause re-prompting.
-
- This little gem of a utility was written by Michael F. Roberts of Snohomish,
- Washington and was published in PC Magazine, Vol. 5, #3 (Feb 11, 1986) (as
- a BASIC source listing which creates the SCLEAN.COM file from data statements.)
- I typed in the SCLEAN.BAS from the listing in the magazine and created this
- .DOC file and put them together in a .LBR file for distribution. Hope you
- enjoy this program.. I find it handy to use to delete all my .BAK files which
- accumulate all over the place after a crazy editing/development/testing
- session.. (Thank you Michael Roberts and PC Magazine!)
