Hello, everyone!!

How to delete the specified file in the specified directory in Opensees when the program work? I used the command "file delete E:/lvy/output/a.txt", but it doesn't work. The error is given, "permission denied". But after I end the programe, the command works well.

Thank you,

With regards,

Liang Zhiyao

I got the answer, the code is as follow.

Code: Select all

remove recorders
for {set j 1} {$j<11} {incr j 1} {
file delete -force E:/lvy/OpenSEES/final/modevector$j.out 
}

The command that berktaftali give me is right. When the program is running, we must stop recoder object that is writing data to the file. So "remove recorder" is necessary.
