Command: DeleteFile

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
DeleteFile - Delete a file
Synopsis:
string DeleteFile -> boolean
Examples:
(DontNeedYou) DeleteFile -> True, and DontNeedYou is removed
from your working directory
if this file existed,
otherwise False.
Description:
Delete a file defined by it's filename. To be exact, it
is unlinked, so if it link to another file, only the link and not
the file is removed. (This is at least what is supposed to happen
if your POSIX is really POSIX ...)
Mind that regex arguments like (*) DeleteFile are NOT supported.
This was done for safety reasons because the regex flavour of
POSIX is not exactly like what one might be used to from UNIX,
which could easily end in a disaster.
Parameters:
string : Filename of file to be deleted.
boolean : A flag if operation succeded.
