hi
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\clients\x\t
is the folder tree i am working on.
the batch file is placed on the desktop.
i have the following code to delete all *.jpeg files from the folder "t"@echo off
dir /s/b/ad "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\clients"
find /v /i "C:\Documents and Settings\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\clients"for %f in (*.*) do @del /s %%f
::done
pause
if u look above after clients as per the structure it would show a folder "x" and then the folder "t" . both these folders are displayed on the screen when i run the above batch file.BUT it does not delete the *.jpeg inside the "t" folder. also i dont want to delete any *.jpeg in any other folder ie client,x.
kindly help .

dir /s/b/ad "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\clients"

Call me simple minded.
del /s "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\clients\x\t\*.jpeg"
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.M2

@dtech and mechanix2go
@echo off
dir /s /b "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\clients\x\*.jpeg" > Files.txt
for /f %%a in (Files.txt) do del %%athis is a simple solution BUT THE x folder changes everytime ..ie the name of this folder changes .
hence i wrote the above code, my second post so that the program automatically tracks the contstant "t" folder and deletes the *.jpeg files of it.
i repeat all the jpeg files of t folder should only be deleted.
the name of "x" folder varies and only the path uptil clients remains the same. ofcourse the "t" folder also remains the same.
kindly help now
cheers

@echo off
setlocalset FolderPathBase=C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\clients\*.*
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /b /ad "%FolderPathBase%"') do (cd /d "%FolderPathBase%\%%i\" && del . /s /q >nul 2>&1)
endlocal
ok now the above code is working for deleting the fileS BUT it is also deleting the .jpegs inside "x" whereas only those inside "transmittal" should be deleted.
kindly help
very near..yet so far
cheers

If you look at this lline:
for /f "tokens=*" %%D in (#) do echo del "%%D\*.jpeg"
from #5 you may notice that because of the "echo" it doesn't *DO* any deletion, but simply verifies that it's on tyhe right track. I did this to keep from creating a loose cannon.
Edit out the "echo" from that line and I think it will work.
BTW doing a global delete after a CD is a BAD idea. If the CD fails, you've got trouble.
