please help me, how to delete a file every second?

[mrluck012]

hi friends, i'm trying to delete a file on /file every second. I'm familiar with ontick function, but this time i need it to work every second, or even less, so how can i code this?

a- its using ontimer function?

void OnTimer()
{

EventSetTimer (); // How to use this to delete file "b" every second? If there is another way to do this please show me how

FileDelete ("b",0);

     
}

b- If its not on ontimer function, how can i do this?

thanks for any help

EventSetTimer(1);

Is usually placed in OnInit() Function.

Then the code in OnTimer() {} will run once every second.

If you need something faster you can also try

EventSetMillisecondTimer(500); //0.5 sec

But if you go too low then it can start to consume too much resources.

Also in extreme cases with fast read and write cycles, you can 'burn' a hole in your SSD solid state drive so use with caution they have a limited amount of read and write cycles.

good to know, that's one of the reasons why i don't like ssd's
