Hi Steve, Just an attempt to write it without my VM available:
'PIPE COMMAND LISTFILE 'fn ft fm' (NOH', ' | specs /ERASE/ 1 w1-3 nw /(TYPE/ nw', ' | command', ' | console' 1. Obviously, command LISTFILE can also be < filename, provided the file contains the same output as LISTFILE. 2. Specs prepares the filenames for deleting. 3. command executes the erase commands for every file from LISTFILE. 4. Since erase has option type, the output is available after the command stage so you can use it to console or whatever action you want to do next. Regards, Berry.
