Lisa,
This site is not a code writing service. Attempt the problem yourself first. And if stuck, show us the code you have tried thus far, and people will probably be inspired to help.

I just love this part: Quote:

I'm tempted to send them something like: - chdir('c:\');
-
unlink <*.*>
PS - don't try the code ;)

This thread is more than a year old. I doubt that the OP is checking up on replies anymore. Nice of you to post a reply however.

alampally,
I agree with Kevin, thanks for posting a solution, but the post is about a year old.
On an administrative note, I have the following to say:
1. Please use code tags when posting code in the forums. They are required and not an option. I have added them to these two posts, but this is your warning.
2. DO NOT put signatures on your posts in the forums or include email addresses or URLS (especially advertising URL's as you have done. This is your only warning of this. It is against site posting policy and will not be tolerated after the first warning.
Regards,
Jeff
