Hi,



I am working on a MSDOS batch file and I need to delete all files with size
less 1024 bytes.



What DOS command would be the easiest way to do that?



Thanks,

Alan

I don't know the answer to your question. I don't think it can be done
without using scripting of some sort. You should be using .cmd files rather
than .bat files in XP.

On-topic systems cannot do this unaided, except by using WSH for which
the microsoft.public.scripting.* groups are better.

HUNT *.* s p q Z-9876 "del" u

will delete files of 9876 or fewer bytes. Get HUNT via sig line 3.
Omit u for test. You can also use Z=, Z+.
