help for command line attributes needed?

[the_doc735]

Windows 2000 and Windows XP syntax

Deletes one or more files.

DEL [/P][/F] [/Q] [/A[[:]attributes]] names

ERASE [/P] [/F] [/Q] [/A[[:]attributes]] names

names Specifies a list of one or more files or directories. Wildcards may be used to delete multiple files. If a directory is specified, all files within the directory will be deleted.

/P Prompts for confirmation before deleting each file.

/F Force deleting of read-only files.

/S Delete specified files from all subdirectories.

/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to delete on global wildcard

/A Selects files to delete based on attributes

attributes R Read-only files S System files

H Hidden files A Files ready for archiving

- Prefix meaning not

If Command Extensions are enabled DEL and ERASE change as follows:

The display semantics of the /S switch are reversed in that it shows you only the files that are deleted, not the ones it could not find.

can anyone do a few examples of usage for this command please?

I know:

DEL /S /Q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.log (for example) "BUT!".....

I need to know how to use the attributes R S H A IN THE LINE

Would it be:

DEL /S /Q /A : R S H A %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.log

OR

DEL /S /Q /A:RSHA %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.log

OR

DEL /S /Q /A: /R /S /H /A %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.log
