Calling windows batch file or external tool from script?

[Mud-H]

Hi!

I'm wondering if there's a way with stock engine code to call a windows batch file (.bat) or an external tool executable? The main reason I'm asking for that is that I want to delete files from torqueScript, is there a built-in way to do it that I'm not aware of?

Even if there's a torque way to do it, I'd still like to know if it's possible to call external .bat or .exe?

function shellExecute( (string executable, string args, string directory) )

@brief Launches an outside executable or batch file

@param executable Name of the executable or batch file

@param args Optional list of arguments, in string format, to pass to the

executable

@param directory Optional string containing path to output or shell

@ingroup Platform

 

But you can also just use fileDelete("file.cs").
