[WBEL-users] File deletion

[Matthew Hodgett]

Have you looked at xcopy /t on your windows box? You can copy just the
directory structure, delete the original, then copy just the structure
back again.

Subject: [WBEL-users] File deletion


Hi everyone

I have to somehow or other clean out a filesystem in order to start 
again for this year.

These folders are a main folder for a Branch Office, with nested 
subfolders for various safety test certificates that have to be scanned 
and stored.  There are about 500 of the main Branch Office folders!

What I need to do is to remove the files but leave the directories
intact.

Is it possible to use a script to do this?  If so, how?  I realise rm 
-rf removes subdirectories as well as files!

The files are kept on a Windows box but I have copied them over to one 
of my WBEL servers because I could not imagine any way of doing this in 
Windows.

I realise this is not a WBEL issue as such but any help would be 
appreciated.

Thanks.

Francies
