delete files and folders on-rev.com

[Matthias Rebbe]

Hi Thomas,

as Björnke already said you can use delete folder. But this only works if the folder is empty.

To delete folders and their contents (files and also subofolders) i am using

get shell("rm -r "& quote&xArg&quote)

where xArg contains the name of the folder i want to delete.

Regards,

Matthias
