How to run a batch file using Alteryx?

Question

Hi All,

I've created a simple batch script which will delete a specific type of files from inside a source directory.

Myscript.bat

========================================

@Echo OFF
DEL /s "C:\Users\Rano\Desktop\Demo\*.txt"

How can I run this script using Alteryx?

My use case: I wanted to search specific files using Alteryx and delete them.

Please help.

@EN6924 The only thing I can see that is different in this request from this one: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Find-and-Delete-duplicate-source-files-from-System/m-p/1200268#M297807 is the command and file path. Change your command from "move" to "del" and only have one file path instead of two and you should be set with the batch macro I gave you. Gallery should run it, but it depends on your network's security settings. Replace the Run Command tool in your workflow with the batch macro and you'll be set.

It's using by configuring events.

Will this run in Gallery too?

How can build the same workflow using Run Command Tool?

Please assist someone.
