I need help making a batch file. I want it to open a game, then after the game closes I want it to delete a file from the game.

The game is Call of Duty 4, and the file is called zzz-unitedsniper.iwd I think. This file is not supposed to be there but some servers still have it, so it downloads, then messes up.

I am sick of manually deleting it, and want a batch file to automatically delete it when I close the game.

Is this possible? I've tried Google'ing to no avail.

Thanks.

This isn't possible with a batch file. You need something that can do event driven programming.

You could do this with a vbscript, but it would have to loop infinitely checking every x seconds if the process for the game still existed.

Here's a sample of this

'Enter Game Process name here
strName = "process.exe"

'Enter Entire path to file to be delete here
strFile = "c:\program files\game\file.ini"

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   
Do

  Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process where name='" & strName & "'")

  blnProcess = 0

  For Each objProcess in colProcessList
    If objProcess.Name = strName Then
      blnProcess = 1
    End If
  Next

  If blnProcess Then
    Exit Do
  End If

Loop

objFso.deletefile(strFile)

Ah.

I guess I'll just make a batch to delete it, without having to browse there.

Thanks.
