RE: Flowscript - delete file

importClass(Packages.java.io.File);
importClass(Packages.java.io.FileNotFoundException);

function deleteFile() {
    var filePath = cocoon.parameters["file"];
    var file = new File(filePath);
    try { 
        if (!file.exists()) {
           throw new FileNotFoundException(filePath);
        }
        file.delete();
        cocoon.sendPage("success.txt", {});
    } catch (e) {
        cocoon.sendPage("error.txt", e);
    }
}

That's more closely to how I would write it.

Hi Peter,

PS>              //Delete file
PS>              Packages.java.io.File.xml_file.delete();

Try

xml_file.delete();

You just have to add the full "path" to the class when you construct it. After this, the variable contains a reference and you can just use it.

Regards,

  Martin.
