Error

I'm really new and just made a simple program which is only 2 lines:

delete *
end

And this is what I get when I run it: bios.lua:14: [string ". temp"]:1: '=' expected

The computercraft wiki has a neat tutorial on how to write Lua code, here http://www.computerc.../wiki/Tutorials
What you wrote is not Lua code.

If your intent was to run "delete *" as a shell command, then you must use a specific function, "shell.run"
So your code should look like

shell.run("delete *")

No end keyword needed.

Thanks!

Or you could use the fs API. fs.delete(path). Either one is one line of code.

fs.delete does not support the "*" wildcard, you'd have to make your own iterator that goes thru all of your files.
