I am still struggling through the problem I was having earlier. However, I am a great deal further. I cannot seem to get unlink to delete the files from the directory. I have made the script as simple as possible and cannot get unlink to work.
unlink ("c:\testdir\*030977*.*") || die "unlink failed: $!"; returns an error of unlink failed: No such file or directory at testunlink.pl line 3. I know there is a file in the directory named "culinary_file_17030977_work" I have even simplified further using a file "test.txt" and using unlink ("test.txt"); this also failed. I can use "del c:\testdir\*030977*.*" from the command line and the file is deleted. I am using Windows XP and ActivePerl 5.8.0. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
