- USAGE:
-
- Kill does the same as C:Delete but your can specify the files you want to delete by date or size.
- The template is as following:
-
- FILE/M/A,ALL/S,QUIET/S,FORCE/S,SINCE/K,UPTO/K,SINCEDAYS/K/N,UPTODAYS/K/N,
- BIGGER/K/N,SMALLER/K/N,PLAIN/S,ANSI/S
-
- FILES/M/A,ALL/S,QUIET/S,FORCE/S are the same options as described by C:Delete.
- With SINCE/K and UPTO/K you can specify the dates of the files that should be deleted, much the
- same way as these options work in C:List. With SINCEDAYS/K/N and UPTODAYS/K/N you may specify dates
- relative to today. For example
-
- Kill Download:#? UPTODAYS -7
-
- deletes all files in Download: that are older than one week. Finally you may delete files based on
- their size:
-
- Kill Download:#? SMALLER 1000
-
- deletes all files in Download with 999 or less bytes.
-
- You may combine the options SINCE/K, UPTO/K, SINCEDAYS/K/N, UPTODAYS/K/N, BIGGER/K/N and
- SMALLER/K/N freely, only a file matching all six will be deleted.
-
- If something unusual happens (e.g. a file being delete protected) Kill will complain and use bold
- face, but only if Output() IsInteractive(). Output may be forced to use ANSI-Escapes via ANSI/S and
- to not use them via PLAIN/S
