: How can one write a DOS Batch Program to Consolidate all duplicate files (files with the same exact name) and delete the duplicate files so that you have only one set of files left on your disk drive ??
: (eliminate all the duplicate files)
: Thanks for your help...
: Ted,
This is a longshot, but worth a try.
Use Concatenate for a given filename (the name of your old file), rename it slightly w/wildcards (if less than 8 characters, create (+ sign) to a new filename, then = sign it to yet another filename; then do your deletion. let me know, ok? I'm learning this stuff too!
