Hi,
My background is Unix and I'm struggling with trying to put together a =
post backup script file for one of my windows clients.
The windows box runs a SAP backup utility which drops a directory (with =
an automatically generated name) of backup files onto our SAN, and I =
then want a post-processing script to delete the directory if the backup =
to tape worked okay.
What has got me foxed is trying to use wildcards in a .bat file to =
handle the deletion, as the ? single character wildcard I'm used to on =
Unix doesn't seem to work on Windows 2000 server.
On Unix it would be dead easy to script the deletion of any directories =
with 6 character names, but I can't find a way to do it on Windows and =
I'd appreciate any suggestions as to things I could consider. I browsed =
through some of the stuff in the Windows Resource Kit, but only Perl =
looked of interest, and I'm not allowed to install that :=AC(
Thanks for any advice or pointers.
