Q #1: How do I create a directory from within AutoIt?

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

A #1: By using a DOS command.

      Run, %Comspec% /C MD C:\\Temp\\example

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Q #2: How do I delete a directory from within AutoIt?

 

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

A #1: Again by using a DOS command.

      Run, %Comspec% /C RD C:\\Temp\\example

 

      But in this case the directory must be empty before you run this

      command.  So a command like:

 

      Run, %COMSPEC% /c del C:\\Temp\\example\\*.*

      Send, y{ENTER}

 

      would need to be run first.

Q #3: I'm trying to delete all the files in C:\TEMP with the following:

      RunWait, del C:\\TEMP\\*.* /q

      But I always get a 'Failed to run program'-error.
      (The OS is Windows 2000 Pro) What am I doing wrong ?

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

A #1: You need something like:

      runwait, %COMSPEC% /c del c:\\temp\\*.* /q

      Because "del" is a DOS internal command.  You need to specify the
      command shell that it is internal to.  That is what the %COMSPEC%
      does.
