hi,

copy and paste the following code in a batch file and execute it.

@ echo off
dir /p *.%1
pause
del *.%1


the above code will search for the specified file with any extension of ur choice and it will delete them after listing it.

input:

batch file name followed by extension.


eg:

if u have named the file as kill.bat and u want to search the files with .exe extension then

u have to give

kill exe
