Hi folks,

I'm new to VDS, and am having a few syntax problems.
I'm trying to delete a file, and test that it was successful by using an IF statement like this:

--snip--
rem delete destination world resource clm file
LIST ADD, OutputWindow, About to delete %A\resource\common\levels\%K\world\*.*
IF FILE DELETE, %A\resource\common\levels\%K\world\*.*
LIST ADD, OutputWindow, OK
else
LIST ADD, OutputWindow, couldn't delete %A\resource\common\levels\%K\world\*.*
END
--snip--

When this is run, it returns OK as true and continues, however the files haven't been deleted. What am I doing wrong?

You can't "nest" commands after eachother, only functions can be nested. You may be able to do what you want using the following. Usually you can use @OK() to check whether an operation worked out.

Tommy,

Thanks for your reply! That had solved my issues, great!

For my next question, As you may have noticed from my code i am using a list box as an output window. Is there any way to make it scroll with the updated messages automatically? at the moment when the number of messages exceeds the length of the list box they continue below the bottom of the box, and you have to manually drag the scrollbar down to see whats going on. Can it scroll down to the bottom of the box automatically somehow?
