del: Do not prompt when deleting files based on a global wildcard.
$ del ${file_pattern} /q
try on your machine
The command "del ${file_pattern} /q" is a Windows command prompt command used to delete files matching a specific pattern. Here's the breakdown of the components:
- "del" is the command used to delete files.
- "${file_pattern}" refers to the file pattern or wildcard expression that specifies the files to be deleted. It could be something like
*.txt
to delete all text files in a directory. - "/q" is an optional parameter that stands for "quiet mode." It suppresses the confirmation prompt asking for confirmation before deleting each file. With "/q" specified, the command will delete the files without any prompt.
So, when you execute this command, it will delete all files matching the specified file pattern without asking for confirmation.
