Lisp: delete-file
Being a VB(A) programmer I keep on struggling with Lisp code. What I'm trying to achieve is following:From within a Lisp routine I'm trying to delete a file using someting like (delete-file "c:\temp\cleardata.lsp")There is for some reason an error in this line: what would be the correct syntax?Actually, this command should be the last line in that same cleardata.lsp file. After loading and starting the cleardata lisp routine (by VB) I will have to keep my VB program waiting until Bricscad is ready with that cleardata job. The idea is, that as soon as the lispfile is deleted, I can assume the cleardata routine has finished. Does this make sense or is there any other way to keep my program in sync with Bricscad?TIA,Arno van Eeuwen

One solution is to load the "doslib.dll" right at the start, and the use the command : (dos_delete "Drive\Directory\filename")That's all.

You may do this in pure lisp:(command "shell" (strcat "del " filename))Assign filename with the filename preferable with full path.Note that a space is after 'del' command.Svend
