I've got an issue at work which we need some kind of script for, I could code something up in seconds for Linux/Unix but I've always found scripting on Windows a pain in the backside.
Let's say I have a directory full of files with two different extensions, e.g. 123.abc and 123.def
I need to remove all of the *.def files from the directory, but they can only be deleted if there is a matching *.abc file with the same filename
Does anyone know how this can be achieved with a script? There are thousands of files in this directory so definatley not something which can be done by hand!
Thanks
