        guys, (of either gender)

        here's one that is a bit difficult to figure out how to ask, but
        here's my first shot:

        i'm looking for a file what contains string "S".  the filename
        in this case has a zillion letters, but that beside the point.

        i can use grep to find "S" and grep gives me the file[s] that
        have the string.  now, is there any easy way of reading that
        file, or deleting or otherwise munging that file?

        nutshell is that every time i reboot (into kde), kde wastes
        time/cpu spawning unwanted whatever: versions of konqueror, kttsd,
        ksayit, &c.  [[i found these files in
        ~/.kde/share/config/session, about  20, dated may, 09 to oct 08.
        rm'ing the bunch would get rid of the instantiate problem, but
        having a script to diddle with a found string "S" would be
        useful esp'ly if the filename of pathname were long.

        i'll mouse swipe the string and fname to prove my point.
thanks for any help.
        gary

        ps: if scripting this is too grizzly i'll do it in C and do an
        inline post of src and example use.


Do you mean something like

rm `grep -l S *`

or am I completely missing the point of what you're trying to do?
