Simple question,
I was wondering how I could easily delete 1 specific file throughout several subdirectories without having to type rm <filename> in each subdirectorie.
I tried rm -r Makefile-noedit from the top level and it just says Makefile-noedit : No such file or directory.
if I got to each subdirectory and do rm Makefile-noedit it works.
Hi, use the "find" utility. I allows you to search for file(s) and run arbitary commands on them. I'm not able to give you a working solution (I'm lazy), but you should be able to come up with one. :) -- Nadeem :) http://www.nadmm.com/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
