delete file problem

[jagguy]

I want to read in a directory of filenames, and decide which files to delete by going through the filenames.

The problem is I forget how to read in a dir(I am sure I could do it a while ago) and when deleting on winxp home with ulink() I always get permission denied.

[chrisranjana]

opendir(DIR1,"c:/directory/");

@filenames = readdir(DIR1) #returns filenames

closedir(DIRHANDLE);

also you can use forward slash or two backward slashes in windows.

thanks for that.
what about deletes because I get permission denied with winxp home.
