Wouldn't that be
rm -i *txt < yes
?

rm -i *.txt | yes
may work for you?
[r...@localhost]# yes --help
Usage: yes [STRING]...
or: yes OPTION
Repeatedly output a line with all specified STRING(s), or `y'.
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit

Good morning all,
I have a question that I don't know how to google. When I issue a
command like "rm -i *.txt", it responds with a question that I type
'y' for every line. I recall a way to issue a 'y' to every question.
I thought it was 'y!' but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone
know this trick.
Thanks,
Eric
p.s. yes, I know I can use \rm *.txt or rm -f *.txt for this
specific trite case, but there are other situations where this would
be helpful.
