That's nicely condensed. The posting's message-id hence pasted.
Code frugality aside, the essential trick, since the c:\Thumbs.db
are hidden/system files is to detect them. The straight dir will not
do that. Either the /a:h (which I used in the original) or /a:-d
(used in the above) switch is needed.

Hello Timo,
to my knowledge and experience the presence of /A without any other char
is sufficient.

I do not know the history on my system of the following:
C:\) attrib /s thumbs.db
SH C:\My Documents\My Pictures\Thumbs.db
A C:\Radon\zKernel\Ico\Thumbs.db
Timo's script would not delete the latter. I suspect /a-d would be
better and the subject might then read "How do I delete all my [hidden]
Thumbs.db files [from the system]?"

My suggested single /A works also as an option for del, so all that
might be reduced to
with confirmation: del /A /S /F /P \thumbs.db
without del /A /S /F \thumbs.db

Which means that the /A alone is kind of undocumented in DIR /? and
can conveniently be interpreted as "ALL". Good find Matthias.

Walter, this is what I have written in the next FAQ draft before the
actual code:
"If you use the "View" | "Thumbnails" option in your Files and
Folders windows, the hidden Thumbs.db system file in each such
folder gradually builds up (if you have not chosen "Do not cache
thumbnails" in Folder Options). To delete them you can use e.g.
following script. It has the option of bypassing the personal
photoalbums folders (mine are at C:\_H\PHOTO and its subfolders.)"

In a few cycles 51 lines have been reduced to one! Reminds me a one
particular Dilbert cartoon where Dilbert's 16000 code lines were
reduced to 13 :-).

Think of it this way. DIR/? output shows that attributes are optional. The
meaning of [brackets] is well documented. What else would one expect the /A
alone might do?

Not entirely necessary.
1) The selective exlusion (tackled in my original) is not included.
2) I am a bit reticent about del /s usages, since they are rather
potent.

The dir /? documentation says
"/A Displays files with specified attributes."

The rest is undocumented conjecture, even if correct and logical.

That's the question. *I* didn't claim to be the originator. I thought

IMHO we all here benefit from knowledge gathered in the groups and just

The contributing pseudonum in the posting Marco referred to was
"foxdrive", as far as I now can recall.

Exactly my sentiments, too. I had forgotten about this particular
snippet (Marco was more astute than I in recalling it). It is a
nice, tiny addition to the said FAQ item.
As to contributions in general, below is how I currently state it in
my command line scripts FAQ. A few notes. Pseudonym contributions
fall under the category "collective thanks for the community". The
frequent impossibility of pinpointing the exact origins also is
taken up. Such a list can't be comprehensive. That fact is covered
by the "at least" and again "the community".
"CONTRIBUTORS: A FAQ-like collection always is more or less a product
of collective knowledge. The initial origins of many of the ideas
are often ambiguous and may have been discovered separately by
several authors. Thus a collective thanks for the NT/2000/XP
scripting community is in order. Furthermore, at least the following
individuals have either directly contributed to or otherwise
knowingly or unknowingly influenced the contents of this FAQ in a
positive manner:
Ballenger, Si
Briscoe, Walter
Dunbar, Al

You're of course right Marco,
gI think we oldbees and "middle agedbees" who started with dos and w9x
where dir isn't contained in a gui help rely much on the cli help which
didn't change much over time - only reflecting new options.
The experienced syntax reader will nevertheless see it from:
DIR [Laufwerk:][Pfad][Dateiname] [/A[[:]Attribute]] [/B] [/C] [/D] [/L] [/N]
[/O[[:]Folge]] [/P] [/Q] [/S] [/T[[:]Zeit]] [/W] [/X] [/4]
My reason to reference to the help are obvious language differences.
Independent from this thread I just changed my signature :-)

I can't see it. What can you predict for dir /o
for example?
Matthias Tacke
The colon in brackets shows it's optional [:]
The Folge in brackets shows it's optional [[:]Folge]
The whole in brackets shows it's optional [/O[[:]Folge]]
Thats simply the syntax of help explained in:
HH ntcmds.chm::/help.htm
Marco Maier
> Thats simply the syntax of help explained in:

exactly my point, you have to use ntcmds.chm
Matthias Tacke
That was general knowledge in former times, when hard- software was
accompanied by at least a quick reference (printed on paper, no pdf etc)
<quote>
Quick reference
Microsoft MS-DOS 3.30
Page 2:
[] Items shown inside square brackets are optional.
To include optional items, only type the information inside of the
brackets. Do not type the brackets.
</quote>
The help for dir in the quick ref is pretty short:
*DIR Lists the files in a directory
DIR [drive:][pathname][/P][/W]

Certainly. However, DIR /? is the default documentation. hh is going
to additional (highly useful) sources. In the former, as I posted
previously, the information is not explcitly stated.
Anyway, we now got this well pinned down.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding (my English is not good)
What I'm saying is that you cannot predict what dir /o
does, using only the quick reference.
You have to use The Command line reference:
"If you use /o without specifying SortOrder, dir displays the names of the
directories, sorted in alphabetic order, and then displays the names of
files, sorted in alphabetic order"

Default also means abreviated.

Not in the abreviated verbiage, but in the syntax, it is.

As you are well aware, all these resources have long been available for
Matthias to have possibly read that "DIR /A" returns all files.

No, it is well documented and just misinterpreted. The /? help screens have
always been abbreviated quick syntax help. For full documentation, people
really should, RTFM. Now if anyone bothers to read what DOS 6.22 HELP said,
it has long been well documented.
Why someone is congratulated as if it's some big discovery is a mystery.

Whatever way you wish. There hardly remains any true confusion about
it anyway.

It is unnecesary for me to pursue this side any further. I'll be
stepping around the fishing expedition to make issues about
perfectly innocuous events.

BTW It might be interesting to find a (legal) way to compile a html

The /A behviour of del can only be deduced from dir since it is not
mentioned - neither in del /? nor in
hh.exe ntcmds.chm::/del.htm
No big deal of course, but found it by myself without any references.
The ones you posted were new to me.
I'm pretty shure I read from the dir /a here in the groups since
september 2003.

But you could try a link like this for example:

Nothing wrong, works quite well :-)
For a different path I used :
hh -decompile ntcmds %systemroot%\help\ntcmds.chm
Thanks Walter for giving me an entry point. So much links in msdn and
else where. I guess i have to decompile the .css also to get a similar
display.

My german version seems quite different, less files but greater total
374 Datei(en) 2.793.396 Bytes
Matthias Tacke
Thanks Marco.
Didn't work here due to different setup (my %systemroot% is e:\windows)
but the approach from Walter gave all files contained in the chm so I
can combine both index and the distinct files with a bit changing.

Agreed, but he was refering DIR, not DEL. Personally, from the /? output, I
would expect /A to function the same as DIR.

Those were just a few examples but as you can see, he chooses "stepping
around" with a silent denial that the /? help is just a quick syntax
reference and is not intended to be the full documentation. Oh well, here
are some more helpful tidbits for anyone interested.

Still digging. Well, my own fault. I should have learned better by
now not to trust the motivations. Given our history, the essential
mistake I made was to give a handle by not sidestepping already the
very first comment when I started this thread.
