Removing a range of files in a directory..
Hi all,
Disclosure: I am very new to Unix, but eager to learn..
I've been tasked with transferring logs to a remote server. After I've verified these logs have transferred correctly I have to remove the source files. The naming scheme is:
/directory/2012.05.01
/directory/2012.05.02
..and so on for multiple years.
I tried:
find
/directory/name -type f -iname "2012.04.[04-30]" -exec rm -f {} \;
Please go easy on me

like I said I'm very new and work by myself on graveyard. So other than google have little to no one to turn to. Any pointers are greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
-J
