KillPath
KillPath [/A/Z] pathName
The KillPath operation removes a path from the list of symbolic paths. KillPath is a newer name for the RemovePath operation.
Flags
| /A | Kills all symbolic paths in the experiment except for the built-in paths. Omit pathName if you use /A. | |
| /Z | Doesn't generate an error if a path to be killed is a built-in path or does not exist or is in use. To kill all paths in the experiment, use KillPath/A/Z. | |
Details
You can't kill the built-in paths "home" and "Igor".
A symbolic path is "in use" if the current experiment contains shared waves or notebooks loaded from the associated disk folder.
Prior to Igor Pro 9.00, the KillPath operation prevented killing a symbolic path used to a load shared wave if the shared wave file was in the current data folder. It now prevents killing a symbolic path used to load a shared wave in any data folder. Use the /Z flag to suppress error reporting if this change creates problems for you.
