Ok, so I'm fairly new to Unix, but would like to think I'm grasping things fairly ok (Well until now ), BUT with this one I'm going in circles ... LOL .. really can't work out why? So sorry for this post if it seems a little "dumb" .. But here goes.
In short I'd like to achieve the "removal" of files based on a text list.
example, if I had a file called "delete.txt" it would consist of ONLY file names of what should be deleted.
These files would be found below a PATH and that's where I'm pointing find to.
I've been trying all variations of:
Code:
if [ -f $DELETE ] ;then
cat $DELETE | while read file; do find $HOME -name "$file" -exec rm -rf {} \;
done
mv -f $UPDATE/inbox/delete.txt $UPDATE/trash
fi
I've also been trying with xargs (But when my "delete.txt" file typically has spaces in it won't work .. I've tried using find with < $DELETE but also no luck. What's really strange is I'm sure it worked once or twice, but now haven't been able to get it working again. ANY help will be greatly appreciated. (And yes I see there are a few posts already in the forum, but apologiese, that's exactely what I've been trying with no luck - Sorry)
Hope to chat soon and thanks in advance
Regards
Dean
