Removing Files

jazz8146 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-28-2008

Hi,
This might seem like a really stupid question but i have created a shell script and at the end of the script i want to remove most of the file i create. So I have:

rm file[1-4] test[1-9] sorted[1-12]

However this does not work for the sorted one. The only way i can get this to work is if i do:

rm sorted[1-9] sorted[1][0-2]

Is this correct??

Thanks
Jason
