Question : How to delete *.dot files among *.dotm files with cmd script?

I have a folder with .dot files and .dotm files.  For example I have blank.dot and blank.dotm files. I need to delete those .dot files because they are not used any more. But I noticed using DEL *.dot deletes also .dotm files. What is the right command to use?

As a command typed directly into a DOS box, this will work nicely:

   for %a in (*.dot) do if /i "%~xa"==".dot" del "%a"




The same command can be ran from within a batch file like this:

   @echo off
   for %%a in (*.dot) do if /i "%%~xa"==".dot" del "%%a"
