Re: Elegant delete of word ~tmp files in all sub / dirs

Hi Mathieu,

 useless to do -r while you search only files (-type f)

 the delete function of find seems more apropriate to me

But the -exec mode is more general (understand you put whatever
command you want there) and beside, the first question was refeering
to a syntax using {}.

But I guess that Graham has already deleted all his directories anyway :)

You may also try:

find /your/file-system -type f -name '*~tmp*' -delete

Elegant delete of word ~tmp files in all sub / dirs

2006-01-26 Thread Graham Bentley 
Hi All,

I once found a very elegant method of recursively
removing all the word ~tmp files on our Samba
server (many hundereds of subs)

It involved find rm xargs and some {}

It worked very quickly indeed. I have tried to
find this again but cant and have used alternatives
that are alot slower.

Any CLI Gurus point me in the path of enlightenment ?

   find /your/file-system -type f -name '*~tmp*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

or something like that.

find /your/file-system -type f -name '*~tmp*' -delete

I would think.
