in reply to Deleting specified files and directories

Hi , when you use unlink you need to specify the full pathname of the file, such as

 unlink "$basedir/$mesgdir/$file"

Check out this node Re: File Attributes in Win32 for my reply to a similiar problem : )

UPDATE: Put the pathname in double quotes. Thanks to MeowChow's reminder

    Thanks to everyone for the help. I'll add in all those things suggested. I don't want to be virtually tarred and feathered ;-) Thanks
