- Explanation
- What ALLDEL will do, is delete all files of <filespec> on the entire
- disk, and give you a listing of the directories the files were in.
- As of this writing, there have been no reports of any hardware or
- DOS incompatibilities.
-
- Usage
- ALLDEL <filespec> /d /n
- There MUST be a space between <filespec> and the parameters,
- and there MUST be a space between the parameters.
-
- Parameters
- /d : If specified, will prompt you for a drive other than
- the default.
- If not specified, then the current drive will be used.
-
- /n : If specified, will NOT prompt you for an OK to continue,
- as well as, will not pause after each screen. Be Careful!
-
- The parameters can be entered in any order, as long as there is a
- space between them. If both /d and /n are used, you will be prompted
- for a drive, and then the program will continue without stopping.
- The parameters MUST be lower case or they will be ignored.
-
- Examples
- ALLDEL *.old
- Will ask if you want to delete all *.old on the default drive.
-
- ALLDEL 12*.* /n
- Will delete all files starting with "12" on the default drive
- without prompting you for an OK.
-
- ALLDEL swert.* /d
- Will prompt you for a drive, ask you if you're sure, and delete
- all files starting with "swert" on that drive.
-
- ALLDEL jklf.* /d /n
- Will prompt you for a drive, and then delete all files starting
- with "jklf" on that drive, without asking for an OK.
