Re: Qbasic KILL Command?
You can use it in a couple different ways:
KILL "C:\TEMP\FILENAME.TXT"
. . . or use a variable:
file$ = "C:\TEMP\FILENAME.TXT"
KILL file$
. . . or build a variable:
path$ = "C:\TEMP\"
filename$ = "mytext.txt"
file$ = path$ + filename$
KILL file$

file$ = "C:\TEMP\FILENAME.TXT"
KILL file$
. . . or build a variable:
path$ = "C:\TEMP\"
filename$ = "mytext.txt"
file$ = path$ + filename$
KILL file$

Re: Qbasic KILL Command?
Thanks. But, can you modify/access text files in Quick Basic?

Re: Qbasic KILL Command?
You can modify/access/delete any file using QuickBASIC.
Whatever path & filename you put in quotes after the KILL command will be deleted.
You can open or modify a file using the various forms of the OPEN command.
If you want, just try it. Make a dummy file of whatever you want using an editor, give it any name and path, then "KILL" it using QB.
