Hi All,
How to easily remove some particular files from more than one directory. For example I have directories:
$ ls -l total 12 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 6 16:36 DHbox1 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 7 08:30 DHbox10 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 6 16:36 DHbox2 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 6 16:36 DHbox3 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 6 16:36 DHbox4 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 7 08:31 DHbox5 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 6 16:37 DHbox6 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 6 16:37 DHbox7 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 6 16:37 DHbox8 drwx------+ 2 ovince None 0 Mar 6 16:37 DHbox9
from all these directories I would like to remove JUST files that finish wit suffix = 'pro' and suffix = '.dat' keeping others untouched
thanks oliver
Hi Oliver, find DHbox* -name *.dat | xargs rm should do the trick. Best regards Sylvester -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
