#Delete a file
4 messages in this thread
Ok…lets try this one….
(I GOT to find that AmigaDOS manual!)
MACHINE: A500
NUMBER OF DRIVES: One (yea..yea..yea..)
QUESTION:
What is the syntax,using CLI,to delete
a file from a disk OTHER then the
workbench disk?
I know that typing CD Whatever: gives
mea different directory on a disk,
but I want to delete a file from this
other disk and no matter what I have
tryed,CLI continues to ask me to put
the WB disk back in,and then goes
looking for the file I was trying to
delete from the OTHER disk.
Thanks

How about
delete OtherDisk:junkfile
i.e. use the name of the other disk in your command, separated from the file
name by a colon (:). If there's a space in the disk name, then do it as
delete "Other Disk:junkfile"
Thanks Doug,
Appreciate the help.Got the A500 only
last week.My first Amiga.
Kinda of tough without a DOS manual
and no MS-DOS / CP/M background to
speak of.
I'm sure I'll be asking zillions more
questions!

Al,
If you wouldn't mind, I'm sure many of us would appreciate your storing your

therefore a bit difficult to read. Thanks!
