ERASE

Purpose

Delete a file or files

Syntax

ERASE <filename> | (<expC>) | <file list>

See Also

DELETE, SET PATH

Description

The ERASE command deletes the specified file or comma-separated file list. If no directory specification is present in the filename, then the file is deleted from the current directory. The filename can be substituted with a <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. When deleting a file, ERASE does not follow the directory search path specified with the SET PATH command.

Example

if file("backup.old")
    erase backup.old
endif
