Deleting file in Execute console

Александр Шапошников

Answer, please, if there is any npp-console command (such as npp-save) for deleting file. I need to delete old executable file before compilation on g++. Maybe you know another way to prevent running of the old exe-file if compilation is failed. Example:
PP_SAVE: C:\Qt\MinGW\projects\02\test3.c
CD: C:\Qt\MinGW\projects\02
Current directory: C:\Qt\MinGW\projects\02
g++ “test3.c” -o test3 -march=native -O3 -std=c++11
Process started >>>
test3.c: In function ‘int main()’:
test3.c:54:23: error: ‘vu33’ was not declared in this scope
for (; c3_Iter != vu33.end(); c3_Iter++)
**<<< Process finished. (Exit code 1)
NPP_RUN: test3 **

use the standard cmd shell del command.

Thanks, Claudia.
But:
Result of adding command " del $(NAME_PART).exe" in Execute script:

NPP_SAVE: C:\Qt\MinGW\projects\02\test3.c
CD:
Current directory: C:\Qt\MinGW\projects\02
del test3.exe
CreateProcess() failed with error code 2:
the specified file was not found

Result of adding command “NPP_RUN del test.exe”
NPP_RUN: del test.exe

the specified file was not found

you need to call it from within the cmd shell.
See NppExec notes

4.4. Using cmd.exe

NppExec by itself does not support standard console commands such as “copy”, “move”, “mkdir”, “for” etc. Actually, these commands are part of system’s command interpreter (cmd.exe). So, you can use cmd.exe to perform such commands. For example, you can type the following commands in NppExec’s Console or inside NppExec’s script:

// create a directory C:\Backup
cmd /c mkdir C:\Backup
// save current Notepad++'es file
NPP_SAVE
// copy current file to C:\Backup
cmd /c copy "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" "C:\Backup\$(FILE_NAME)" /Y 
// change current directory
cd C:\Backup
// list all .txt files in C:\Backup
cmd /c for %f in (*.txt) do @echo %f

If you want to see what happens within the cmd shell, replace /C with /K
and console will stay open.
