Visual LISP, AutoLISP and General Customization

[#1]

Hi everybody

I need to delete a folder (not empty) in my LISP routine and I’m not being able to do so. I created the folder using (vl-mkdir “foldername”) but I don’t find the equivalent command to remove it. Any help?

Thanks

Nuno

This delete the folder and its content:

(setq FSO (vlax-create-object "Scripting.FileSystemObject"))
(vlax-invoke FSO "DeleteFolder" "D:\\folder1\\folder2\\Prog\\AutoLISP\\deletme" :vlax-true)

at the end release the FSO:

(vlax-release-object FSO)

Hope this helps.

Hello Just Aguiar,

It works perfectly. I just change from absolute path to local path (vlax-invoke FSO "DeleteFolder" ".\\foldername" :vlax-true). Problem solved!

Thanks

Any way to use a while card?

I want to delete all the Background Plot folders.

For me they are created in C:\Temp\BGPlot_2552 but the number varies.
