Kevin,

please find attached a small perl script that greps the complete dn.

You can use it like so:

ldapsearch .... |  dncat.pl  | ldapdelete ....

Anyway I would advise you to first create a file with the dns and have a look at it before deleting, but this is a matter of taste I suppose.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Peter

That says it all. Create a list of DNs to be deleted with ldapsearch,
grep "^dn:" and pipe that to ldapdelete.
ldapsearch's LDIF output will wrap lines at column 78, which would make
trouble for this approach where DNs are longer than 74 characters.  There
are dozens of possible solutions using awk etc., but a plain grep doesn't
seem very safe to me.

Yes, right.

Ciao, Michael.
