I have a problem. I am trying to write a batch file which will delete a 0 KB .SPL file and an associated .SHD file, which is not 0 KB. Each .SHD file has the exact filename as the .SPL file, for example: 00001.SPL and 00001.SHD. If 00001.SPL is 0 KB, I want the batch file to delete 00001.SPL and 00001.SHD, regardless of the size of 00001.SHD. What I have so far only deletes the .SPL files. This is what I have to execute the deletion of the .SPL file: for %%f in ("C:\directorypath\*.spl") do if %%~zf == 0 del %%f I know I need to assign some variables to pull this off, but I'm not that handy with batch files. Any help will be appreciated.

for %%f in ("C:\directorypath\*.spl") do ( if %%~zf == 0 ( del %%f del %%~nf.shd ) ) the %%~nf should get you just the file name without the extension and the .shd is the extension. tested and it works

No luck with that. It still left the .SHD file even though it successfully deleted the 0 KB .SPL file. I'm uploading an image of the files in the directory to better describe the issue at hand. I'm wanting the batch file to delete the files with the red boxes around them.

Sorry, the picture is located at http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/... For some reason, the Image URL box at the bottom didn't load the image for me.

I can see what the problem is. Change the line del %%~nf.shd to del C:\directorypath\%%~nf.shd

Whoops I forgot about the directory since I just tested the batch in the same folder. Thanks klint for pointing that out

I'm actually excited to go to work today to try this out! I'll let you know how it goes, thanks for the help.
