Regarding deletion of files using scripting language

[akhileshg1988]

Hey there!
Just wanna know if I could use the action "Script" to delete files. Is there any function to do that?

Note:- I know that there's this action "Delete Files", so please don't suggest that. It's just that my flow requires using script to delete certain files.

Hi,

That's only possible indirectly. You could use the the Java features of action script to instantiate a File object and call delete on it. Something like this should work:

Code: Select all

file=callJavaConstructor("java.io.File", "File(java.lang.String)", "/storage/emulated/0/test.txt");
callJavaMethod(file, "java.io.File", "delete()");

Regards,
Martin
