Hi link76,

you need to use a "repeat loop", something like this:

Code: Select all

...
## 1. navigate to target folder
set the folder to mypath

## 2. get all the files in htis folder
put the files into tFiles

## 3. FILTER out only *.bat files
filter tFiles with "*.bat"

## 4. now loop through the files and delete them
repeat with i = 1 to the num of lines of tFiles
  delete file (line i of tFiles)
end repeat
...

Best

Klaus

Code: Select all

set the defaultFolder to "PATH_TO_FILES"
put the files into tFiles
repeat for each line tFileName in tFiles
  if (character -4 to -1 of tFileName = ".bat") then
    delete file tFileName
  end if
end repeat

Ha, I beat you with one line less!
