I am writing a script to compile many .tex files. After that, many auxiliaries files were created.
So, I would like to remove them at the end of the script.
I use vim a lot, and my area has power failure a lot. So the resultant is I get many *.swp files scattered over my PC.
I want an alias of rm command that removes all files with either .swp, ~, .netrwhist, .log or .bak extensions system wide (or atleast in my home directory). The command should delete the files system wide/home directory even when I am on ~/Desktop.
How can I implement so?
I would like to do a safe file removal
Naturally, the command
Code:
rm -f /dir/*
creates problem.
I want to modify the command such that it does not delete files with extensions
.f, .c, .h, .par, .com
We have a Linux server which is Ext4 and another Linux Server which has an ISCSI where Windows clients have shared folders.I need to
Allow users to modify files and not delete them. A user has permission to modify content, but cannot delete the files itself.
Audit all file add/delete/modify operations in a English like log
format.
Send alerts if attempts are bieng made to delete
Hio, So I have a crontab delete of older files setup. This script works fine if I run them by each individual directory.
Problem is there are so many thousands of files and hundreds of directories and sub directories that I need to recursively have it go through and delete files by directory instead of doing the "\*\*\" method.
If I set the current/working directory (navigating to it using cd) to some particular directory and then type:
rm *.xvg
What will this command do?
This is the full file name I get when I do ls -lt from my current directory.
EXPORT_v1x0_20120811_11_T_065800_070000.dat.gz
File names also consist of date as well. In the above file date is 20120811.
So I am trying to delete all the files which starts with EXPORT_v1x0 and whose date is less than 20120825.
I am using the below script from the command line to delete the files
find .
I use this code to delete all files:
File root = new File("root path");
File[] Files = root.listFiles();
if(Files != null) {
int j;
for(j = 0; j < Files.length; j++) {
System.out.println(Files[j].getAbsolutePath());
System.out.println(Files[j].delete());
}
}
It will delete false where Files[j] is a folder.
I want to delete folder and all its sub files.
How can I
Hi,
I have multiple files in a directory. Each file will have a header.I have to check if any of the files has 0 rows other than the header then I have to delete the files.
Here Empty file in my case means a file has header information but no data.
