Hi,
I need to delete an empty directory in a temp directory except "dir5" (keep everything that is not empty).
Plese advise.
Here is an example of my directory.
/dir/temp/
dir1 - delete if this is empty
dir2 - delete if this is empty
dir3 - delete if this is empty
dir4 - delete if this is empty
dir5 - I don't want to delete this folder at all.
Here is what I got so far

Hello:
I searched here for "vi -c" but found no hits.
How can I use vi -c to remove ALL empty lines, regardless of how many?
I tried
<code>
vi -c ":g/^$/d | wq" filename
</code>
but I have to run it several times.
This is NOT homework. :)
Thanks for your time. (3 Replies)

TMPFILE(3) 1 TMPFILE(3)tmpfile - Creates a temporary fileSYNOPSIS
resource tmpfile (void )
DESCRIPTION
Creates a temporary file with a unique name in read-write (w+) mode and returns a file handle .
The file is automatically removed when closed (for example, by calling fclose(3), or when there are no remaining references to the file
handle returned by tmpfile(3)), or when the script ends.
For details, consult your system documentation on the tmpfile(3) function, as well as the stdio.h header file.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a file handle, similar to the one returned by fopen(3), for the new file or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
tmpfile(3) example
<?php
$temp = tmpfile();
fwrite($temp, "writing to tempfile");
fseek($temp, 0);
echo fread($temp, 1024);
fclose($temp); // this removes the file
?>
The above example will output:
writing to tempfile
