delteing a file...I got it just need help...

As far as I know, there's no such functionality built into the API. But you can generate a list of possible extensions (*.aaa, *.aab, *.aac, etc.), and delete all except the one you want to keep. Of course, that will probably be horribly inefficient, so you could try a 'cheating' way: Make backup copies of all the files you want to keep, and store them in another folder; then delete all files in the target folder, and move the backups back into the now-empty folder.

dang it! Well ok how do I set more then one flag then? Notin I did worked and I need to use mroe then 1 of em?

Use the bitwise or operator.

Code:

sfos.fFlags = FOF_ALLOWUNDO | FOF_NOCONFIRMATION;

>> But I want to be able to exclude a file extension but still be able to use the * for a wild card. <<

Code:

// Pseudo code only
// Delete all files which don't have the .doc extension.
for (each file in folder)
{
    if (!PathMatchSpec(file, "*.doc"))
    {
        DeleteFile(file);
    }
}

well actually I don't need the exclude thing no more because I now know how to use more then 1 flag. Altho it would be nice to exclude files, I don't under stand that code to well.

Thanks alot tho!

Code:

sfos.fFlags = FOF_ALLOWUNDO & FOF_NOCONFIRMATION;

didn't work :'(


Edit: In fact non of your codes worked. :'( :'(

Sorry, had a "brain mis-fire", you want the bitwise or operator! See original post. The other code is pseudo-code, it aims to demonstrate the concept but will not compile.

oh I see... I ain't that good at c++ so... I am going to try some more stuff.

Thanks.
