Commands > Fax to Send File [FS] > $delete

Set Delete Options for Completed Attempts

$delete_option keywords

This command is used when you wish to delete temporary document files or delete the FS file automatically after a fax has been transmitted. It typically appears in the FS template file for a fax broadcast using the CopiaFacts Graphical Customization feature, when the temporary files might otherwise consume a large amount of disk space.

The parameter on this command is used as follows:

keywords

One or more of the following keywords, separated by '|' if more than one is used:

temp	Causes any document file mentioned on a $fax_filename line to be deleted after a successful transmission if it contains the string 'temp' in the pathname. If the file extension of a deleted file is .1 then any following .2, .3 etc files are also deleted.

tmpf	Causes any document file mentioned on a $fax_filename line to be deleted after an unsuccessful transmission if it contains the string 'temp' in the pathname. If the file extension of a deleted file is .1 then any following .2, .3 etc files are also deleted.

sent	Causes the FS file to be deleted instead of being placed in the SENT subdirectory.

fail	Causes the FS file to be deleted instead of being placed in the FAIL subdirectory.

tosend

Causes a preprocess operation under the control of FFEXTERN to delete the FS file instead of placing it in TOSEND for transmission. This option is therefore not valid on an FS file in the TOSEND directories.

The 'tosend' keyword allows an application to make use of FFEXTERN preprocessing (for example, for document conversion) without actually sending a fax.

Default: No files are deleted.

Example:

To delete both successful FS files and temporary Graphical Customization generated files:

$delete_option temp|sent
