Well I've read the tutorial about using window's command prompt. While I can move, copy and delete one archive or those that end with the same way (I mean for ex. *.txt)How I can't copy, move or delete diffrent archives the same time? How can I delete folders? I tried help command but i couldn't understand much Thanks a lot, Sakaman This post has been edited by sakaman: Sep 25 2005, 01:51 PM |

QUOTE(sakaman @ Sep 24 2005, 04:10 PM) How can I delete folders? I tried help command but i couldn't understand much Try rmdir [target] or rd for short rmdir=remove directory Can't remember for sure, but the directory may have to be empty before it will work. It may just give you a warning if not. (Directory is the DOS word for folder) SkyDawg --------------------  |

What you're running on is Terminal, running Bash, or Csh over Mac os X, but that really doesn't matter at all. Anyway, rmdir works if the directory is empty, but if you want to remove a directory and its contents, you can use a somewhat volatile command that makes the job quicker. Find the folder you're looking to destroy, and type: rm -rf foldername/ Be VERY careful using the command, its notorious for ruining peoples lives. |
