search and remove command
I want to run the 'locate' command and then remove what the command finds.
My guess was, locate blahblah |rm -f but this does not work. Thanks!

Can you be a bit more specific? What exactly do you want to remove? What is this "locate" command?
The fact that used "rm -f" suggests that you are possibly trying to delete files. I'm not really sure of that, but here is an example of what I suspect may be what you're trying to do: find $HOME -name core -print | xargs rm |

Hey Per...
make sure he knows that $HOME is a variable he sets for the search directory and "core" is a filename you are looking for... Just trying to keep it clear as mud hehe....
