Re: Deleting IFS objects

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mario,

The unlink() API does not understand wildcards.

Consider using a CL command (RMVLNK) or a QShell command (such as find, 
rm, etc.)

Also, please be VERY careful about using wildcards when you delete. 
Most of the time, when I see someone do this in a program, it ends up 
causing problems for them.  Deleting a wildcard in a program is not 
usually proper procedure.

Is this related to HTTPAPI or FTPAPI?  If not, please take it to another 
forum.
