Delete nested folder in JSP?

Same way you would in java.

Look at java.io.File in the Javadocs.

You should be able to delete a file or directory with the "delete" method.

CJ, thanks again. The nuke function above work well, but it didn't delete the folder itself. Let's say:

i call nuke("\a");

all the sub-folder and files in a folder is deleted, but the a folder itself is not deleted.

Maybe you can show me how to delete the a folder also inside the Nuke function above.

and why when i compare a String value, i must use:

if (strvalue.equals("abc")) {
//
}

but not if (strvalue == "abc") {
//
}

?

Is this the syntax of Java? what's their difference?

Thanks :)

you can just after you call the nuke function do this:

nuke(path);
File dirToDelete = new File(path);
path.delete();

string1.equals(string2) or even
string1.equalsIgnoreCase(string2) are the way to compare strings in java b/c the String object has those methods implemented to compare the values whereas the "==" operator on Objects (Strings are Objects) compares if the two objects are pointing to the same memory reference.  Big Difference :-)

Here is a good link that explains this:

HTH,

Thanks a lot again, CJ :)

Glad I could help and Thanx for the "A".
