Loop through found files
Hi I am trying to write a script which will loop through all files that end in ".txt" and ask user if they want to delete the file or not Code:
#this print out all files dir=/root/etc/ find $dir -name "*.txt" output: 1.txt 2.txt etc but what i really want is 1.txt delete(Y/N): 2.txt delete(Y/N): etc I have tried loops for example Code:
for file $dir in "*.txt"; do echo "$file delete (y/n)" done but they dont seem to be working, any ideas are very much appreciated thanks |
