Question

I have written a script that goes through a bunch of files and snips out a portion of the files for further processing. The script creates a new directory and creates new files for each snip that is taken out. I have to now evaluate each of the files that were created to see if it is what I needed. The script also creates an html index file with links to each of the snips. So I can click the hyperlink to see the file, make a note in a spreadsheet to indicate if the file is correct or not and then use the back button in the browser to take me back to the index list.

I was sitting here wondering if I could somehow create a delete button in the browser next to the hyperlink. My thought is I would click the hyperlink, make a judgment about the file and if it is not one I want to keep then when I get back to the main page I just press the delete button and it is gone from the directory.

Does anyone have any idea if this is possible. I am writing this in python but clearly the issue is is there a way to create an htm file with a delete button-I would just use Python to write the commands for the deletion button.

Answer 1

Well I finally found an answer that achieved what I wanted-I did not want to learn a new language-Python is hard enough given my lack or experience

def OnDelete(self, event):     assert self.current, 'invalid delete operation'     try:         os.remove(os.path.join(self.cwd, self.current))
