Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Using "find" and "-exec rm" ... Just no luck :( Post 302347799 by Dean Rotherham on Wednesday 26th of August 2009 12:01:16 PM

Hi Shababc,

Yip, there is a semi colon there (Smilie should that not be the case? The exact code is:

Code:
if [ -f $DELETE ] ;then
cat $DELETE | while read file; do find $HOME -name "$file" -exec rm -f {} \;
done
mv -f $UPDATE/inbox/delete.txt $UPDATE/trash
fi

Thanks and hope we can find out why this isn't working ... I'll try without the semi colon, but I have similar "if's" ALL with the space ;then in place so not sure?

Chat soon
Dean
