Added new _STRCMP and _STRICMP commands for quick string comparisons. Cleaned up QB64 to finish removing the QUI (quick user insert) code and folders. Altered UCASE and LCASE routines to be faster in some situations for us.

The '''KILL''' statement deletes a file on a relative path designated by a [[STRING]] value or variable.

{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
:: KILL filespec$
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Filespec is a literal or variable string path and filename. Wildcards * and ? can be used but '''be careful!'''
|
|
::'''*''' denotes one or more wildcard letters of a name or extension
|
|
::'''?''' denotes one wildcard letter of a name or extension
|
|
|
|
* Path can be relative to program's current location or use an absolute path from the root drive.
|
|
* KILL cannot remove an [[OPEN]] file. The program MUST [[CLOSE]] it first.
|
|
* If the path or file does not exist, a "File not found" or "Path not found" [[ERROR Codes|error]] will result.
|
|
* [[SHELL]] ''"DEL /Q " + filename$'' does the same without a prompt or verification for wildcard deletions.
|
|
* [[SHELL]] ''"DEL /P " + filename$'' will ask for user verification.
|
|
* Cannot delete folders or directories! Use [[RMDIR]] to remove empty folders only!
|
|
* '''Warning! Files deleted in DOS or QB64 will NOT go to the Recycle Bin and they CANNOT be restored!'''
