SCLEAN.DOC -- Subdirectory Clean Utility 01/21/86 -- by Michael F. Roberts
SCLEAN.COM is a utility program for MS-DOS or PC-DOS, version 2.0 and
up. It allows you to do a wildcard delete on certain filenames throughout
an entire hard disk directory. (It searches through subdirectories as well
as the root to find files matching the filespec given on the command line.)
After each file found, you are prompted to verify that it is OK to delete
the specified file. The syntax for using this utility is:
SCLEAN [d:] filename
SCLEAN begins searching in the root directory and then scans any subdirec-
tories that exist. Whenever a filename is found that matches the one you
specify, SCLEAN will print out the filename and its path and then wait for
you to enter a Y or a N. Choosing a Y will cause the file shown to be deleted,
an N will skip deletion of the file and continue searching for the next match.
Any response other than a Y or N will cause re-prompting.
This little gem of a utility was written by Michael F. Roberts of Snohomish,
Washington and was published in PC Magazine, Vol. 5, #3 (Feb 11, 1986) (as
a BASIC source listing which creates the SCLEAN.COM file from data statements.)
I typed in the SCLEAN.BAS from the listing in the magazine and created this
.DOC file and put them together in a .LBR file for distribution. Hope you
enjoy this program.. I find it handy to use to delete all my .BAK files which
accumulate all over the place after a crazy editing/development/testing
session.. (Thank you Michael Roberts and PC Magazine!)
