Re: A win32file.ew question.
I figured it out! please do respond to this subject.
I used a walk_dir() method.
deleteFile() is case sentitive eg: caps, smallcaps and have fixed procedure
that would'nt delete new.txt if
deleteFile(New.txt). The procedure was a listview of the temp files which
the delete_temp procedure uses to delete files.
All is good thnx to Guillermo Bonveh for making me look real hard.
