wildcards in MagiC vs Aranym/Mint

[robv]

In my HiSoft Basic compiled programs I can delete multiple temp files using:

Code: Select all

KILL *.TMP

Works fine under MagiC and old TOS, but gives me a 'File not found' error under Aranym/Mint. I have to delete the files one-by-one to make it work.
Searched the forum for a mention of this but couldn't find any. Don't know how GBE behaves here.
No big deal once you know it, but I wonder if I'm missing something. Mind you, as far as coding is concerned I'm at the beginner's level for the last 30 years.

Might be an issue with the case of the returned filenames.

Code: Select all

KILL *.tmp

instead.

Case sensitivity, good suggestion. Tried both

Code: Select all

KILL "*.TMP"
KILL "*.tmp"

doesn't make any difference. It's the "*". Perhaps a HiSoftBasic problem?

Maybe. Another solution might be to do a Fsfirst("*.*") and do the filename comparison yourself.
