Description
/?
Displays help at the command prompt.
Remarks
The endlocal command has no effect outside a script or batch file.
There is an implicit endlocal command at the end of a batch file.
If command extensions are enabled (command extensions are enabled by default), the endlocal command restores the state of command extensions (that is, enabled or disabled) to what it was before the corresponding setlocal command was run.
Note
For more information about enabling and disabling command extensions, see the Cmd command.
Examples
You can localize environment variables in a batch file. For example, the following program starts the superapp batch program on the network, directs the output to a file, and displays the file in Notepad:
@echo off
setlocal
path=g:\programs\superapp;%path%
call superapp>c:\superapp.out
endlocal
start notepad c:\superapp.out
erase
Deletes one or more files. If you use erase to delete a file from your disk, you can't retrieve it.
Note
This command is the same as the del command.
Syntax
erase [/p] [/f] [/s] [/q] [/a[:]<attributes>] <names>
del [/p] [/f] [/s] [/q] [/a[:]<attributes>] <names>
Parameters

/f
Forces deletion of read-only files.
/s
Deletes specified files from the current directory and all subdirectories. Displays the names of the files as they are being deleted.

<names>
<attributes>
Remarks
If you use the erase /p command, you'll see the following message:
erase /p
FileName, Delete (Y/N)?
FileName, Delete (Y/N)?
To confirm the deletion, press Y. To cancel the deletion and to display the next file name (if you specified a group of files), press N. To stop the erase command, press CTRL+C.
If you disable command extension, the /s parameter will display the names of any files that weren't found ,instead of displaying the names of files that are being deleted.
If you specify specific folders in the <names> parameter, all of the included files will also be deleted. For example, if you want to delete all of the files in the \work folder, type:
<names>
erase \work
You can use wildcards (* and ?) to delete more than one file at a time. However, to avoid deleting files unintentionally, you should use wildcards cautiously. For example, if you type the following command:
erase *.*
The erase command displays the following prompt:
Are you sure (Y/N)?
Are you sure (Y/N)?
To delete all of the files in the current directory, press Y and then press ENTER. To cancel the deletion, press N and then press ENTER.
Note
Before you use wildcard characters with the erase command, use the same wildcard characters with the dir command to list all the files that will be deleted.
Examples
To delete all the files in a folder named Test on drive C, type either of the following:
erase c:\test
erase c:\test\*.*
