Re: QSH RM

To make it clobber the directory and everything in it do 'rm -R /myData/*' (Yes capital R)

As to the error that sounds like RM is attempting to treat /myData/test as a file and since it's a Directory, failing on that. Just a hunch.

Hi I'm running this command in a CLP :

QSH CMD('RM /myData/*')

This empties /myData ok, but as the directory 'test' exists in myData, the program stops with :

rm: 001-2139 The object /myData/test is a directory. No such path or directory.

I hit enter and everything's ok because I want the files in myData deleted without touching any subdirectories. How can I prevent the program from stopping? What does it mean by<No such path or directory>?

Thanks.
