xcopy + secure del

I have this code:

xcopy.exe /v/y/e "BlackBerry\pictures\*.*" "I:\Photos\*.*"
del.exe /q/s "BlackBerry\pictures\*.*"


I'd like to delete only in case the xcopy command ends successfully, otherwise show a error message

Any ideas?

handsomed,

How about this:

Code: Select all

xcopy.exe /v/y/e "BlackBerry\pictures\*.*" "I:\Photos\*.*"&&(
    del.exe /q/s "BlackBerry\pictures\*.*"
)

&& - executes the subsequent command only if the previous command succeeded.
DosItHelp? :wink:
