Hi for everyone in stackoverflow !
I'm looking for a workaround to how delete this kind of file using a reserved name such :
(nul, aux, com1, prn, etc...)
So, i get as output error :
The syntax of the file name, directory or volume incorrect.
@echo off
echo hello world>\\?\"%temp%\nul:nul"
pause
more<"%temp%\nul:nul"
pause
set /p MyVar=<"\\?\%temp%\nul:nul"
echo %MyVar%
Pause
Del "\\?\%temp%\nul:nul" /F
pause
I'm using this trick to store the password shown like in this code below so, i can set the password into this file and also, read from it, but i can't delete it.
@echo off
