mdelete

Arguments

filename

a character string: the pathname of the file(s) to delete.

Description

mdelete may be used to delete a file or a set of files if filename contains meta-characters.

Note that mdelete does not ask for confirmation when you enter the delete command. To avoid accidentally losing files, make sure that you have accurately specified the items you want deleted.

Examples

r = mputl('I am a dummy String', TMPDIR+'/dummyFile.dummy');
mdelete(TMPDIR+"/dummyFile.dummy");
