selectivley delete files

I have a file called SWEEP.COM which performs the same command on all my directories in DOS mode. it very handy for del *.???. It does not work in WINXP and I wonder if there is a newer version O could get somewhere

 

Small.com

Hi Pete
Unfortunatly the SMALL.COM program was not a DOS program.
When invoked all you needed to do to delete all *.txt files was go into the root of your drive and type SMALL DEL *.TXT and it would step through your entire drive and perform the command.
I have a bunch of art files half *.pcx and half *.wpg in about 100 directorys where I want to delete all the *.wpg files and sweep would do the trick in no time.

 

You could just use the WinXP Search Assistant. To access Search Assistant, right click on "My Computer" and select "Search... ", and searching for file names matching "*.wpg" looking in "Local Hard Drives ".

Once the files have been found, you can either delete them all (CTRL-A to select all of them), or selectively delete files in certain locations (CTRL+click on each to select it). Once you are done selecting, press Delete on your KB (or just right click on one of the selected files and choose Delete from the pop-up menu).
