Batch DEL help!

Comment:

I'm trying to write a batch file capable of deleting a file located in an unknown directory. I want the batch file to be able to delet a file named hello.jpg, without knowing the directory it is in. Is this possible? Jeff

C: cd WINDOWS\FOLDER del /s hello.jpg (will delete hello.jpg in all subdirectories from FOLDER, works in win xp that I know of)

I'm sure you've already received an answer but this one is easy so here. ::zap.bat CD\ FOR %%i IN ('DIR /B /S hello.jpg') DO DEL /S hello.jpg exit

Not much point in changing drives/directories. just: del /s c:\some\path\hello.jpg ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
