Feature request: ability to delete files with massren about massren HOT 5 CLOSED

👍 I thought of the exact same thing the first time I tested the tool.

But nevertheless, great work.

Yes I think that would be a useful feature and probably not hard to implement. I'm not too keen on deleting files replaced by blank lines as it could lead to accidental deletion. I'd rather make it explicit. For example, any line replaced by a special comment could be deleted.

For example, given these files:

file1
file2
file3

If it's changed to this:

file1
//rm
file3

It means "file2" would be deleted.

One caveat though is that the undo function would not work for deletion (unless a lot of system-specific stuff is added in order to move the files to the trash) so that would probably have to be documented.

This is now available in v1.2.0 - if you add "//" before a filename it will be deleted. Please give it a try if you can, and let me know if you notice any problem.

Implemented in 1.2.0

this should be documented. I've spent a while looking for this.
The main readme mentioning that it is possible, it doesn't say how...
