Here is a line of code which deletes all files in the current directory:

Code: Select all

DEL . DR

As far as I know,

Code: Select all

DEL

means delete,

Code: Select all

.

means the current directory.
What does

Code: Select all

DR

means?

That should be just another name in the list of files to be deleted, so it deletes a file called "DR" within the current directory.
I don't see any benefit adding that to a list of filenames that contains all files in the current directory (".") which covers the file "DR".

Or it's a typo and /AR was actually meant. In that case only files with the "read only" attribute would have been deleted.
