Javascript help on deleting the file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 24.2005

Hi All,

I need to delete a file which resides in the path “c:inetpubwwwrootpic”. I am using the FSO and using the path as “picfile1.gif” to delete the file. Eventhough the “file1.gif” is present in the localhost path the script gives “File not found” error when it executes the file.Delete() method of FSO.

It works fine if I give full path as below.

file = myfso.GetFile(“c:inetpubwwwrootpicfile1.gif”)
file.Delete()

But my requirement is to delete the file without using the c:inetpubwwwrootpicfile1.gif”

Thanks in advance.

Ravi

@mwiggin1Aug 24.2005 — Is this JavaScript or ASP? Looks like ASP ...

If it is ASP just use:

FilePath = Server.MapPath("/pic/file1.gif")

objFile = myfso.GetFile(FilePath)

objFile.Delete()

This thread should be moved to ASP ...

@u_ravi10authorAug 25.2005 — I am creating an instance of the filescripting object and using its methods to get the file and delete it inside a javascript function. So I am trying do everything in a javascript function only.

Following is the code used:

I am passing the value "picfile1.gif" to fpath argument used for the function filsel.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function filsel(fpath) {

myActiveXObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

// The below commented code works fine //

//file = myActiveXObject.GetFile("c:inetpubwwwrootpicfile1.gif");

file = myActiveXObject.GetFile(fpath);

file.Delete();

}

</SCRIPT>



Thanks.
