You can limit the search to look for file names that match the file mask and/or seach for files that were created before or after a specified date. Once you have copleted a search, you can delect the 'Get file names in display' option under 'Display" on the menu bar. This will filter out all but the fiully qualified file names and leave you with a list of files. The list of files may be saved for future refference, or used as input to another program such as c_del which is available as a free download on my web page. C_DEL is an OS/2 command line utility for deleting files. It expects to receive file names from a pipe or it will accept one file name entered on the command line. It will delete files that have the read-only attribute, but it will not remove directories. Usage examples: type saved_list | C_DEL The line above will delete all of the files in saved_list. dir m:\*.obj /F /S | c_del The line above will delete all of the .obj files on the M: drive unzip -Z -1 somefile.zip | c_del The line above would delete all of the files that had been unziped from the zip file somefile.zip. However it will not delete any directories that were created when the file was unzipped. This program is free, but the author retains all rights.
