ShFileOperation understands wildcards. It can also delete entire directory hierarchies (as opposed to RemoveDirectory, which requires directories to be empty). So you shouldn't need to build up a list of all the files you want to delete. Anyway, Delphi has nothing built in. The JCL has some file-enumeration tools, though. Look in the JclFileUtils unit. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
