Delete File [SOLVED]

Trying to make a script to delete a stats file so I can easly reset it.

I tried making this but no luck:

bind pub - !deletestats remstats

proc remstats {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
if {[file exist scripts/dbase/statistics.dat]} {
file delete "scripts/dbase/statistics.dat"
putserv "PRIVMSG $nick :You have deleted stats"
} else {
putserv "PRIVMSG $nick :There are no stats."
}
}

I don't get any error, just keeps saying There are no stats, even tho there is..

Try using the full path, eg, /home/bot/whatever/scripts/etc/filename.dat

hi rosc,

I have tried the full path as well and a few other ways with no luck.

Have you made sure the file was not in use (opened or such) when you deleted it?

it isn't opened or in use, do you know of another sample delete script i can try?

Well, your script is pretty much the way to go, unless you'd like to depend on external binaries.

I assume the file is generated by some stats-script. I take it you've double-checked that there is no way it could've held the file opened?

yeah I chanset -stat to turn it off, still says theres no stats.. I willing to give other ways a try...

Just trying to make an easy delete script since some games/scripts don't come with a delete option
