Who is good with DOS (in Windows 7)

Code: Directory of E:\problem folder 22-May-11 07:32 PM <DIR> . 22-May-11 07:32 PM <DIR> .. 18-May-11 08:46 PM <DIR> javascript alert( Instructions - Right-click a spray, Select save target as, Rename to pldecal.wad Place this in the desired mod of hl. Do NOT select customise afterwards. For example - c 10-May-11 02:03 AM 29,309 other filename 1 16-May-11 09:45 AM 588,915 other filename 2 3 File(s) 618,224 bytes 3 Dir(s) 760,621,916,160 bytes free dir j*.* shows the folder, but del j*.* does nothing, as well as rd j*.*


So how do I remove the folder with the exeptionally long (and possibly illegal filename?

dir /X

rmdir /S/Q [insert short filename]

it will probably be: rmdir /S/Q JAVASC~1

Why not use the win7 file manager?

Wait, W7's command prompt still doesn't have autocomplete??

rmdir /S/Q JAVASC~1.FOR
seemed to work - thanks, I didn't know about the /X switch, pfft, nothing like good ol' WIN95...

Be warned FunGas, you'll get what you paid for here ;)
Personally I'd stick to Intrinsics advice.
Either that or boot into a live distro, mount the drive and try -
Quote:
rm -IRv /media/(mount point)/javascript alert( Instructions - Right-click a spray, Select save target as, Rename to pldecal.wad Place this in the desired mod of hl. Do NOT select customise afterwards. For example - c

Mount point being whatever you mounted the disk as obviously. Be very careful with the folder name (I'd copypasta personally). I too am unsure why you can't just shfit+delete in explorer?

cmd.exe has had autocomplete at least since Windows 2000 (that's the first one I used regularly) and probably earlier than that.

i like how the suggestions are still coming an hour after he fixed it :) Are you guys that slow at typing, or just that slow? :D

I wonder what this all has got to do with DOS (as indicated by the topic)?

is Total Commander like Norton Commander? I can use that ;)

i'm more curious about how you got that filename in the first place :D

I leeched http://fly.to/fungas with go!zilla to make a backup.
My ISP can't figure out why I can only see .ftpquota on my FTP connection - maybe you can fix my ISP too :P

Tell them to read up on chmod ;p

Get them to setup another ftp account just incase something freaked out the 1st time they did it and see if you can still only see that 1 file, if so it's prolly a problem at your end...or there is only an .ftpquota file in your directory and nothing else :)

PS and if your gonna use a shell replacement at least let it be Directory Opus.

May not have all the bells and whistles but either xplorer2 or qdir shit on dopus imo.
Of course you could just drop to terminal & use mc. ;)

Yeah .. how did you get that filename?!?

directories are soooo 1995... semantic filesystems ftw!

@ringofyre SACRILEGE! :D

Those are both weak by comparison, i like being able to program DOpus todo whatever i need using the built in scripting language, i wouldn't use windows without it.

Fair call Intrinsic - pcmanfm does me (it's a bit lighter than Nautilus, w/o the scripts tho). But for pure power, grace & beauty you can't go past mc.
:P
