Delete all files in a folder

[mustilem23]

 

Hello, I am very new and inexperienced in autoit coding, I am trying to progress with the information I received from you. I have a few issues that I am stuck on in a scenario. I want to delete all the pdf, excel or word files in C:\Users\mdogru\Desktop\IFS OUTPUT because I will save different files in this folder later in the scenario .

 

My scenario in the design phase

Check in help file FileDelete(). You can use wildcards in the path like <DirPath>\*.pdf  in order to delete all pdf files from a directory (replace <DirPath> with the full path to your actually directory).

Thank you, I have looked through the help file extensively and finally added my folder path to the scenario below, but the files are still there. Can you please help me?

 

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    ; Create a constant variable in Local scope of the filepath that will be read/written to.
    Local Const $sFilePath = _WinAPI_GetTempFileName(@TempDir)

    ; Create a temporary file to read data from.
    If Not FileWrite($sFilePath, "This is an example of using FileDelete.") Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred whilst writing the temporary file.")
        Return False
    EndIf

    ; Display the contents of the file passing the filepath to FileRead instead of a handle returned by FileOpen.
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Contents of the file:" & @CRLF & FileRead($sFilePath))

    ; Delete the temporary file.
    ;Local $iDelete = FileDelete($sFilePath[$i] & "C:\Users\mdogru\Desktop\IFS ÇIKTILARI\*pdf*")
    Local $iDelete ="C:\Users\mdogru\Desktop\IFS ÇIKTILARI\*.pdf*"

    ;Local $masterEdlFile = "G:\Session_Master\Show\Session_Data\Type2.edl"

        FileDelete($_sSrcPath2[$i] & "C:\Users\mdogru\Desktop\IFS ÇIKTILARI\*.pdf*")

    ; Display a message of whether the file was deleted.
    If $iDelete Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The file was successfuly deleted.")
    Else
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred whilst deleting the file.")
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>Example

What is $_sSrcPath2? The following path already looks fine.

[mustilem23]

 

I think I added it while trying it out. It doesn't matter to me. How can I edit my path according to this scenario? I think I made a very small mistake. Can you help me please?

It matters for the script. If it's anything else than empty string or some sort of spaces then most likely you pass to FileDelete() an invalid path.
