Hey Louis!
Thanks for your quick answer which helped me alot! Actually I just copied
deltree.com to my C: directory and put in my autoexec.bat
alias rd=C:\deltree.com /y
Now when I do “rd C:\directory\directory2” it deletes the specified directory.
I know it’s a pretty dirty solution (especially dangerous with /y switch) but I
guess this works out for me :). Open for any suggestions!
Regards
Hans

Betreff: Re: [Freedos-user] Catch "rd" order before command.com processing
del C:\directory\*.*
rd C:\directory
Even that will fail, I think, if there are some hidden files/folders. Start
with that and you can build it into an alias command in freecom.
alias myrd="del %1%\*.* ; rd %1%"
I believe that's the right syntax.

Hey all!
Once again I am trying to run some old programs under Linux emulation DOSEMU
which is making use of FREEDOS. In one of them you have the option to delete
directories, it does it like this:
del C:\directory\*.rec
del C:\directory\*.dat
del C:\directory\eti.bin
rd C:\directory
As “rd” only removes directories if they are empty the folder to be removed
must only contain files of types .rec, .dat and a file eti.bin else it won’t be
removed. My problem is that today there are some other files in this folder too
so I can’t remove it from within my program.
The appropriate way to delete directories would be ‘deltree’ I guess but that’s
a standalone .com program while rd and del are part of command.com
<http://command.com> . I tried to create a file rd.bat which should catch the
call but if I do “rd.bat” freedos wants to remove the directory “.bat”. Is
there any way to get a workaround to this or how can I compile my own version
of command.com <http://command.com> ?
Thanks
Hans-Christian
