KILL - DualBrain/bsharp GitHub Wiki

To delete a file from a disk.

Syntax

KILL filename

Comments

filename can be a program file, sequential file, or random-access data file.

KILL is used for all types of disk files, including program, random data, and sequential data files.

Note

You must specify the filename's extension when using the KILL command. Remember that files saved in BASIC are given the default extension .BAS.

If a KILL command is given for a file that is currently open, a File already open error occurs.

Examples

The following command deletes the BASIC file DATA1, and makes the space available for reallocation to another file:

200 KILL "DATA1.BAS"

The following command deletes the BASIC file RAINING from the subdirectory dogs:

KILL "CATS\DOGS\RAINING.BAS"
