script needed to delete folder after confirming text from file
I am looking for script that should delete folder and it's files after confirming the folder name from a text file that keeps track of folder properties.
E.G. Text file is at location -:c:\program files\marimba\tuner\map.txt
Now I want my script to look for text " voipme x.xx.xxx" in the txt file and make of note of folder in which i will find details of this particular text. then script should delete the folder.
Any help would be highly appreciated...

First, AppDeploy has a specific forum for 'Scripting' and second, the work you require is non-trivial and certainly not something I'd undertake for free.
I would suggest that you search for scripts which do both jobs and then combine the two. The single-most important advice I will give you is the same I give to any script developer: assume that NOTHING will work and error-trap your code accordingly, even for what you regard as the most trivial task. Most scripts don't do that and, while they work 99% of the time, the 1% failure will occur at the least convenient/most financially costly time and YOUR NAME will be associated with that failure forever.

Odd - map.txt keeps track of your channels and which folder is associated with each channel.
Why don't you just delete the channel - which in turn should delete the folder?
I don't know if you're using AD integration...
But the Tuner should be used to manage itself.
I can't think why you'd want to delete a channel manually...
Was there some strange problem?
