Program deleting

mosbe · Jul 24th 2021

Hi all,

I would like to delete some programs using digital input (or some equivalent way).

More precisely:

I got hundreds of memory consuming programs.

I want to import some programs using FTP. I also want to delete files to make space for new programs. (Just overriding old programs with new).

But what someone said to me - I can't delete files using ethernet connection itself and I should make a script.

((( I also have to delete specific files (for example programs starting at letter B like B_program1, B_program2, ...). )))

So my question is how to handle it? Where should I start?

Do I have to write script using karel? If yes, where to start learning karel the best (from your experience)?

Are there other ways to do it?

Thank you for your answers and help

if it was me, I use FTP and

First I copy all the files to a hard drive

Second Highlight the programs to delete (on the robot directory side of the FTP) and press delete

I delete program from MD: all the time using this method
