KILL
Chapter —Program Instructions
Purpose Statement for deleting a file, directory, or complete directory sub-trees
from the printer’s memory or from a CompactFlash memory card inserted
in the memory card adapter.
Syntax KILL[,R[,A]]
is the file or directory to be deleted.
R recursively removes all non-system files in the specified sub-tree
and then removes all empty directories in the same sub-tree.
A optionally specifies that system files also should be removed.
Remarks The name of the file to be deleted must match the name given when the
file was saved, see SAVE statement. The name must include the extension.
If no extension was entered manually by the operator when the file was
SAVEd, the extension “.PRG” was added automatically.
To KILL a file residing in another directory than the current one (see
CHDIR statement), you must include a reference to the directory in question
when you specify the file, for example "card1:.XYZ".
KILL cannot be used for files residing in "rom:", "storage:", or "lock:".
A directory cannot be removed if it contains files or directories unless the
R flag is included in the KILL statement. Otherwise error 1073, “Directory
not empty” will occur.
A trailing slash character (/) may be added to directory names, but is not
necessary.
The A and R flags are only applicable when removing directories, doing
otherwise will result in error 1034, “Not a directory”.
The root directory of any device cannot be removed.
Note the symmetry with FILES. FILES,R and FILES,R,A
list files and directories that will be removed using KILL,R and
KILL,R,A respectively.
The current directory may be removed (for example KILL CURDIR$,R).
The current directory is not changed after such a command, but is invalid
and a successful CHDIR statement is necessary to restore the current
directory to one that exists (CHDIR".." may not work).
