awk search & delete located criteria
Guys, I manages to get awk to search and print the files that I want to delete. However I am stuck on the delete portion. Here is the command that I am using to fins these files. Code:
find /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/ -type f | awk '/e$/' The output is perfect. The files look like so: Code:
/usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/kydzradiolv.com\e /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/stylefm.kyee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/foxcountry.useee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/old2-rooster101.kyee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/foxcountry.usee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/rooster101.kyee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/itm-eee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/king.orgeee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/old2-z99.kyee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/cjcy.loungeradio.caeee /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/charityawardsprogram.useee I want all of the findings deleted. I have tried the following with no luck: Code:
find /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/ -type f | awk '/e$/d' Any ideas? Jaysunn |

Why not Code:
find /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/ -name "*e" -type f -exec rm {} \; |

[solved]
Hmm @dennis.jacob,
I thought that I needed the $ to anchor all the end e's. But your solution is correct. Thanks. Jaysunn |
