Study in the documentation arrays and the For..Next loop.

like

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

Local $oldPath = "D:\Main"

Local $afolders = "First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth"
$afolders = StringSplit($afolders, ", ", 1)
For $i = 1 To $afolders[0]
    ;DirRemove($oldPath & "\" & $afolders[$i], $DIR_REMOVE)
    ConsoleWrite("-> Remove: " & $oldPath & "\" & $afolders[$i] & @CRLF)
Next

somdcomputerguy,

Thanks for the suggestions. I did look at both of these suggestions, and neither - at least to me anyhow, were of any real assistance.

ioa747,

...like..."Yes!"...Very much so!

Thanks for this, ioa747...very much appreciated!

Note: Regarding the HelpFile, though that text can at times, indeed be Help-Full, lack of various examples is also, sorely lacking! The example that ioa747 provided not only displays what I would refer to as "a practical example", but also display "other things" that makes further investigation extremely likely! For example:

1) Local $afolders = "First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth": Shows an interesting usage of multiple variables.
2) How to apply a For...To-..Next command
3) A practical use of StringSplit
4) A practical application of "other commands" - instead of focusing entirely on the use of Msgbox's.

As a "point-of-interest", instruction should never, ever be "assumptive". Just because one "gets it"...should NOT infer or imply that someone else is going to "gets it" as well. A wise  instructor takes a hand and then opens the heart. Without sounds too corny, ioa747 has certainly opened this heart! Thanks ioa747!

I posted an example here that doesn't work.
