Hello all,
I try do delete a file in a static Folder via dispatch. The Filname ist always different, so i can´t specify the Name.
Unfortunately i am not able to do this. Is it not possible to use wildcards like %?
E.g. "\%.pdf"
Please help!
Thank you,
Mario
In Dispatch you can prompt the user for text. You can then type the name of the file to be deleted.
Thanks for the quick reply Steven,
I do not want to delete the file manually. I would like to delete it using a script. Is it possible by using the API (C# or VBA)?
Any ideas???
Regards,
Mario
I use Dispatch to delete an existing PDF in our "released" folder before copying the new PDF of the same name. For some reason when copying a PDF from the Vault to a network folder it will not overwrite an existing file. Anyway here is the Dispatch script I use, maybe it can help you with ideas. I get the name of the file (%NameOfSelectedFile%) from the file I run the script on (i.e. approve). You can also parse the filename to remove the extension and add whatever extension you need.
Thank you Steven,
my problem is solved!!!
