[Help] WR Cleaner

Nearly finished off my first cleaner project, just need a little halp with the file paths.

ⓘ

I have used this following code and it does work but I noticed the file path has to be specific

Code:

If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
            On Error Resume Next
            Kill("C:\Program Files\GamersFirst\War Rock\data\HShield\*.log")

Is there a command I can use to search for those extensions in my entire warrock folder or hard drive?

These are the main files I want to delete but there will also be .tmp and .dmp files after a game update

ⓘ

Note : Ignore those file paths, my games are installed on a different hard drive

( I will have to add a "clean D drive" option in future releases )

Why don't you add the other warrock folder directories as places to delete the *.log files?

I was after a more generic approach due to the fact that a lot of people install in different directories

GamersFirst Live download: C:\Program Files\GamersFirst\War Rock\data\Hshield\aspinet.log

Normal download and install: C:\Program Files\War Rock\data\Hshield\aspinet.log

64 bit user with G1 live download: C:\Program Files (x86)\GamersFirst\War Rock\data\Hshield\aspinet.log

Custom Install example: D:\Games\WarRock\data\Hshield\aspinet.log

( I suppose I could just add more check boxes for those extra file paths if that's what you mean )

Then why don't you make them set their Warrock folder directory

Set their directory through my application you mean, example?

Yeah reaper, do a "My.Settings" in project properties for their WR directory and make a folder browser dialog. I.e create a button to locate the folder and add the following

[php]
Dim FBD As New FolderBrowserDialog

FBD.Description = "Browse for your WR directory..."

If FBD.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
My.Settings.WRDirectory = FBD.SelectedPath '(change My.Settings.WRDirectory to whatever you named the setting')
txtDirectory.Text = FBD.SelectedPath 'shows the user their current WR directory in a text box
My.Settings.Save()
My.Settings.Reload()

End If
[/php]

Then add this to your clean button:

[php]

If Not My.Settings.WRDirectory = "" then
'run cleaning'
Else
MsgBox("Please locate your WarRock Directory first!", vbExclamation, "No directory found.")
btnBrowse_click(sender, e) 'assuming the button you added the FolderBrowserDialog code to was called "btnBrowse"'

End If

[/php]

Something like this:

Code:

Private sub TextBox1_Cick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Click
Using dlg As New FolderBrowserDialog
dlg.ShowDialog
TextBox1.Text = dlg.SelectedPath
End Using
End sub

You must get sick of people making noob applications like this, but we have to start somewhere I guess..

Haha I made a cleaner when I first started as well, it's a good start as you can learn some pretty useful functions.

Meh it's not that bad, at least it's not a spammer.

Make it search the path threw the registry, atleast try

.

I'll write something up for you in a few.

This is another thread to learn from

, I was wondering a very similar thing so I
Must thank you guy also
