Dear Jon & Kendall,
Thank you very much for your advices.
Since I've never used Python before so it seems to be a big challenge for me
to write a correct script. May I bother you with it when you have some time
to share.
Knowing that it is dangerrous to use the automatic deleting, I may use it
for cleaning other files type ie. temp or unwanted types
In addition, please advise what SPSS syntax/ script can be used to get any
other file (not SPSS) to run/ open ie. Excel file, PP.
Thank you very much,
Hop

This is easy to do with programmability. I don't have time to spell this
out right now (on the way to the airport), but you can use
Python os.walk to iterate over all files on your system.
Use fnmatch.fnmatch to test the file name against the pattern you want
Use os.remove to delete a file that passes the test.
BE CAREFUL with this, or you could wind up with a lot of extra free space on
your disk!
HTH,
Jon Peck

Dear Manoj Soni,
Sorry I did not make myself clear enough. Actually I want to write a script
in SPSS that can do the job of searching & deleting specific file type i.e
**.sps anywhere even in Recycle bin.
Thanks once again!
