Basic file deleting question

Eric-

FYI, I found I could avoid the chdir step thus:

File.delete(Dir["output/"])

Thx.

Thanks, but could you elaborate? How would you rewrite your line:

File.delete(Dir[""])

to specify deleting all files in the directory “output”.

You’d want to cwd to the dir first:

Dir.chdir(‘output’)
File.delete(Dir[""])
