Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Remove the file except with particular extension Post 302789899 by Corona688 on Thursday 4th of April 2013 11:55:39 AM

Use Image tags for code, please.

find is already recursive -- looks inside folders -- so you don't need to put it in a loop.

It will also take a -name option to search for specific filename patterns. You can use '!' to make it exclude them instead.

Code:
find $DIR -mtime +21 '!' -name '*.info' -exec echo rm '{}' ';'

Right now it will just print 'rm filename' instead of actually running 'rm filename', just to test. Remove the echo once you've tested it and are sure it does what you want.

NAME
img-xpm - Img, X Windows Pixmap Format (xpm) SYNOPSIS
package require Tk package require img::xpm ?1.4? image create photo ?name? ?options? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The package img::xpm is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::xpm. Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports files containing raster images in the X Windows Pixmap Format (xpm). More specifically img::xpm extends Tk's photo image type. The name of the new format handler is xpm. This handler does not provide additional configuration options. All of the above means that in a call like image create photo ?name? ?options? [1] Image data in xpm format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically. [2] The format name xpm is recognized by the option -format. SEE ALSO
