Hey, list, This is kind of a pedestrian request, but hey, it's like 104 degrees outside.
I wanted to remove all empty files in a directory today, so I typed this command: ls -s | grep -e '^ 0' | sed 's/^...//' | xargs -n1 rm -v Then I was like, WTF, three pipes? And I wondered how many variations on this kind of thing there were. There's also this one, which I just pulled from http://www.linux.ie/newusers/beginners-linux-guide/find.php: find . -empty -maxdepth 1 -exec rm {} \; But maybe you have a better one? Or if not, maybe you can share your favorite one-liner? Andrew _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
