I would like to delete some files in a specific directory, I use the following command:

FILE DELETE,@text(list1),CONFIRM

However it maybee possible, that one or more files are in use and therefore cannot be deleted. The problem is, that in this case I like that the program skips those file and continue to delete the other files that are not in use.

Any trick how to do this?

Thanks

You have to delete files one by one. You can do this by using this code:

Thanks so far, that working. However there is still a small issue remaining: on those file who are in use, the script has a timeout of about 4 seconds when he tries to delete such a file until he proceeds to the next ones.

Any possibility to improve this?

You could try to use another parameter in steed of "CONFIRM". Maybe there is a "IGNORE" one or something? Smile
