As a reader of anything technical, you have likely heard the buzz about DevOps. You may already be familiar with this concept, but if you’re even a little fuzzy about it or the development culture that has grown up around it, this article should help you understand what DevOps is, how it works, and what it can do for you and your company.

Tech Tip
Deleting directories with traditional Synergy
|
|
The Synergy DBL language does not have built-in functionality to delete a directory, the way XCALL DELET deletes a file. However, it's possible to open a pipe to an operating system command that will delete a directory. The benefit of running the command in an open pipe versus shelling the command is that an OPEN pipe enables you to examine the output for code errors without having to create a file. In contrast, using the SHELL technique to check for errors requires the output to be redirected to a file, and then that file must be opened and parsed.
For example, on Windows the command below will delete a directory containing files in an open pipe. The "2>&1" redirects standard error to standard out, so that errors (if any) are redirected into the pipe.
OPEN(pipechn=0, I, "|cmd.exe /c rd /s/q "+ Dir2Del + " 2>&1")
(where Dir2Del is a variable with the directory name to be deleted)
Similar commands can be run in an open pipe on other platforms to achieve the same results.
