Hi Everyone,
Please could someone help me with the Run Command tool? I need to delete all backup files in a folder. I would like to use the Run Command tool to do so (I know there are other ways, but right now i'm trying the Run Command tool).
The command i am using to do this is del 'W:\My Documents\[remainder of file location]\test_folder\*.bak'
I have tried running this command by itself in CMD and it works. I have tried saving this command in a .bat file and running that in CMD and it works.
When I try in Alteryx using the Run Command tool it runs but nothing happens (backup files are not deleted). Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong here?
Note: I saw that someone answering a similar question recommended putting the space between My and Documents into " ". Tried that and didn't work either.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for replying @flying008. It wasn't working when i used the full network path either in Alteryx. But, the solution offered by SPetrie worked well. And I should also update everyone that it ran fine from the Gallery too so that's an added bonus :-)
