[lazarus] Making calls to External Programs

2007-01-16 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,

I need to clean up the /tmp folder and erase various files and directories
that my App has created there.

Using Linux, can I call bash from within my App to 'rmdir'?

Two approaches possible. There are DeleteFile and DeleteDirectory
functions available in FPC/Lazarus. On the other hand you can also use
TProcess to run any external command from FPC. Please check the Lazarus
wiki which has an excelent article on how to use it.
