The
ERA (erase) command allows you
to
erase from the disk one or more files
at
a time.
You
can
use
both
ambiguous
and
unambiguous file
names
with
the
ERA command.
(Recall
from
the
Introduction
To Vector 4 CP/M
that
an
ambiguous file name
refers
to
more than one file
at
a
time
by
means
of
the
CP
/M
wild
cards
* and
?,
while an unambiguous file name
refers
to
one
and
only one.) The following examples show you
the
different
ways
you
can
use
ERA.

Names

that
you have a file named

To erase this file you would
proceed

using
the
following command format:

EXAMPLE:
A)ERA
SALE8.MEM
[RETURN]
RESULT:
The file
SALES.MEM
has been erased.
Erasing With .Ambiguous
File
Names
2.
To
erase
several
files
with
the
same
name
(e.g.,
SALES)
but
a
different
extension, you would use
the
following format:

ERA
