Delete files with wildcard at runtime

[Barry]

Is there a way to delete files with a wildcard (, ie *.$$$), at runtime

I am currently using the following routine to delete a single file, but
want to delete a lot of files without having to specify each ones name.

Thanks

Barry

err = DeleteFile(FileName);
if (!err)
MessageBox(NULL,"Unable to Delete File","Delete File",MB_OK);

Look at SHFileOperation()

Thanks, but does not seem to be in BCB5 Help?

You need to look in Microsoft's documentation, as it is a Win32 API
function, not a VCL function.

It is documented in the Windows API help shipped with BCB5. Either get it
from the help menu or run win32.hlp
