Delete certain file format using a script

[FN-GM]

Hi how would I produce a script that would delete all .txt & .log files from a particular location please?

Thanks

Same as before - use VB script / AutoIT, or batch commands, type in Del /? on a command line to find out more.
If the txt and log files are all over the place then a simpe dir *.txt or dir *.log and pipe them to a file - eg:

dir*.txt /s>c:\textfiles.txt

Open up the text file in excel, stick in del on every line [ after moving the cells to the right ] - save it as a cmd file and run it and bob's your uncle.....

I would suggest you also look at powershell...

In VBS you would have to check all the files of a folder to see if the extension was txt or log

Something like:

For Each File in Folder.Files
     if   UCASE(File.Extension) = "TXT"  or UCASE(File.Extension)="LOG"
          File.delete
     endif
Next

It'd probably easier to do it as a batch file.
