Hi All,

How can I work on following request?

Delete all the html files older than 29th November from the path - /dding/ting/tong/unixyang/output

Perform appropriate calulation to determine how many days ago 29th of november was, assign to $days.

find /dding/ting/tong/unixyang/output/ -name "*.html" -mtime $days -exec rm {} \;

To test, omit the "-exec rm {} \;" part of the above command

find /dding/ting/tong/unixyang/output/ -name "*.html" -mtime $days -print

Thanks everyone. It worked.

Could also tell me how can I do the request where user have asked to remove all files from certain directory with .html extension.

rm <directory>/*.html (eg rm /dding/ting/tong/unixyang/output/*.html)

Or if it should recurse to find all html files in subdirectories too:

rm -r <directory>/*.html (be careful to type this correctly)
