More batch lies

[Al3xandr3]

This is my problem:

I need a batch file to delete a *.pif file created by a game every time i run it...
(Im running Win XP Professional edition)
So i put it like this in the batch im trying to create:
         
del C:\Programs\bla bla\bla\blabla\blablabla\*.pif /P
   pause
(that's not really the path )
And it gives me a "path not found" in the prompt  
I've tried all sorts of variations i've even tried without using wild cards, with other files elsewhere on my c: drive, setting the file attribute and all but... helas... no go
What am i doing wrong here?
If you could plz give you insight on this

sorry bout that
nasty typo: not lies   files

What if you used explore or search to find the exact location of the file then copy/paste that location in your batch eliminating any typos etc?

i've had issues with batch files and long file names.  for example:

c:\documents and settings\user files\favs

would be

c:\docume~1\userfil~1\favs

in your batch file.

You best bet is to type:

command

from the run line (you cannot use the cmd shortform as this shell allows long file names)  and trace your path from the command prompt

use "path"

@noka: ?

[mims1979]

put the path in quotes.

del "c:\program files\microsoft office\*.pif"
pause
