DELFILESQQ
Portability Function: Deletes all files matching the name specification, which can contain wildcards (* and ?).
Module
USE IFPORT
result = DELFILESQQ (files)
files |
(Input) Character*(*). Files to be deleted. Can contain wildcards (* and ?). |
Results
The result type is INTEGER(2). The result is the number of files deleted.
You can use wildcards to delete more than one file at a time. DELFILESQQ does not delete directories or system, hidden, or read-only files. Use this function with caution because it can delete many files at once. If a file is in use by another process (for example, if it is open in another process), it cannot be deleted.
Example
USE IFPORT
USE IFCORE
INTEGER(4) len, count
CHARACTER(80) file
CHARACTER(1) ch
WRITE(*,*) "Enter names of files to delete: "
len = GETSTRQQ(file)
IF (file(1:len) .EQ. '*.*') THEN
WRITE(*,*) "Are you sure (Y/N)?"
ch = GETCHARQQ()
IF ((ch .NE. 'Y') .AND. (ch .NE. 'y')) STOP
END IF
count = DELFILESQQ(file)
WRITE(*,*) "Deleted ", count, " files."
