Using del and rd in build plan

[DOT-COMmunications]

Hi all

I have added cmd.exe as an executable to Bamboo (Running on Server 2003 R2 Datacenter) but when i try to use del or rd command lines the files that it was supposed to remove still remain.

Is there a particular way to do this so that i can remove source files from the directory after the program has compiled but before i have it zipped and uploaded to S3?

Thanks in advance

I think you should configure your job to use Script Task which allows you to create script that will be executed with cmd.exe

Yes that would probably work a lot better, i didnt think of that as i had only seen examples of the script been used with Bash on a Unix/Linux install

So have i have tried using rd FUNC /s /q and also "rd FUNC /s /q" when i realised that it seemed to be listing each one as a seperate argument but nothing seems to work, the files still remain.

Since del and rd don't exist as seperate executables i cannot add them to Bamboo in that way
