Subject  :  Use XXCOPY to Delete Stray Files
Size(KB) :  0


Can XCOPY do the following? I have not been able to figure out how but perhaps 
someone who is more skilled with the program has some ideas.

I use a database program that creates a .DAT and a .IDX file for each database I 
setup. (For example, ABC.DAT and ABC.IDX) Sometimes when I delete a particular 
database it deletes the DAT file but leaves the IDX file. As a result I frequently have 
stray IDX files in the directory. Can XXCOPY do either of the following:

1. Delete any IDX file for which there is no corresponding (same name) DAT file.

2. When I use XXCOPY to copy the directory, don't copy any IDX file for which there 
is no corresponding DAT file.

Thanks.

Peter
