hi all,
I have a javascript program to delete a file as follows,

var fileSystem  = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fileName = fileSystem.GetFile("D:/hi.xml");
fileName.Delete();

if "hi.xml" is not there in that specified location, then the script is giving an error message as "file not found", and it stops the execution.but here i want to continue the execution.is there any method to check whether the loading is success ot not?
how can i move with this?
~~please help me~~

Try this

XML

<html>
    <body>
    <script language="JScript">
    <!--
    function remove()
    {
        var myObject;
        myObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
        var f = myObject.GetFile("c:\\test.txt");
        f.Delete();
    }
    //-->
    </script>
    Delete file "mytest.txt".
    <form name="myForm">
    <input type="Button" vvalue="Delete File" onClick='remove()'>
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

Use try catch

C#

try
  {
  //Run some code here
  }
catch(err)
  {
  //Handle errors here
  }
