Delete command in a batch file?

use a /Q at the end of your delete statement, the Q is for quite mode.
hope this helps
note: this works in NT but I'm not sure about 95

1. Create a text file that contains only the letter "y". Call it y.txt.

2. Change your command to del f:\slik-app\data\*.*

Try a del /y f:\slik-app\data\*.* or try del f:\slik-app\data\*.* /y If that doesn't work I know for a fact this will. You will have to delete the directory but it will create the directroy back. deltree /y f:\slik-app\data
if not exist f:\slik-app\data\nul md f:\slik-app\data

Comment on #1: DEL F:\slip-app\data /y only works for NT

On #2: This will work. You can bypass the creation of a "Y" file by doing "echo Y | DEL F:\slip-app\data". This will work with any version of DOS (of at least DOS 5.0).

On #3: Becareful with DELTREE. It will do the deletion, but it will take out the subdirectories below it. After deleting the files, it will remove the subdirectory "F:\slip-app\data" itself. This is only available in Win9x. For NT, use "RD /S /Y"

You need The Pipe:

echo y | del c:\temp\*.*

The character after the Y, pipe, is located above the backslash on my keyboard (yours may be different).

This technique temporarily puts a "Y" in the keyboard buffer and feeds it back the next time DOS expects keyboard input - in this case, confirmation that you really know what you're doing when you delete all files.

Hope this helps.
