Syntax:

-delete archive {options}

This command deletes one or more files from an archive.

Required parameters:
archive - filename of the archive that contains the files to be deleted. 

Options:

R[ 0 | 1 ]
 

This parameter searches for files to delete also in subfolders stored in the archive.

Possible values of "R" are:

  • 0 - option DISABLED
  • 1 - option ENABLED

The defaut value is R0 and it will be automatically selected if "R" is not specified in the command line.
 

+file
 

This parameter specifies which files should be considered for deletion from the archive. It is possible to specify filenames with wildcards like * and ?.
If this parameter is not specified in the command line, the program will delete all files and the archive itself.
 

-file
 

This parameter allows to specify which file must be excluded from a mass deletion action (e.g.: "+*.*" has been specified).
 

D[ A | H | R | S | Z | X ]
 

This parameter allows to delete just files that have given attributes. "D" must be followed by one or by a combination of the following attributes:

  • A - Archive file
  • H - Hidden file
  • R - Read-only file
  • S - System file
  • Z - File without attributes
  • X - Any attribute (this option overrides all the other attributes)

The default value is DX and it will be automatically selected if "D" is not specified in the command line.
 

K:0 | 1

Shows a progress indicator while performing an action.

"K" may assume one of the following values:

  • 0 - no indicator
  • 1 - indicator is visible

Default value is K1 and it is used when the "K" parametere is not specified in the command line.
 

 

WARNING:
Remember to use the "+" parameter to delete single files from an archive: if your command line misses this parameter, all files will be deleted and the archive will become unreadable.
