Oracle A way to list directories that contain specific files.

Hi everyone

My issue is this, I need to list all the sub directories in a directory that contains files that have the extension *.log, *.dat and *.out . After reviewing the output i need to delete those directories i do not need. I am running Solaris 10 in a bash shell. I have a script that I believe will list the directories that I was hoping someone here could verify the syntax but I still need a way to delete them without having to do rm -R for each one.

Code:
find ABC/ \( -name "*.out" -o -name "*.log" -o -name "*.dat" \) -print | while read f
do
  echo "${f%/*}"
done | sort -u

ABC= name of directory

Thanks in advance

SCROLLKEEPER-UPDATE(8)					      System Manager's Manual					    SCROLLKEEPER-UPDATE(8)

NAME
scrollkeeper-update - identify new, modified, or removed OMF files and update the scrollkeeper databases SYNOPSIS
scrollkeeper-update [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -n ] [ -p database-directory ] [ -o omf-directories ] DESCRIPTION
This synchronizes the scrollkeeper database with the OMF directory. It searches the scrollkeeper OMF directory to identify if any files were added, removed, or modified and updates its internal database files to reflect any changes. This utility is generally executed as the last step of installation, after the OMF file is copied into place. It is also typically the last step of uninstallation, after the OMF file is removed. Using this, an administrator can easily manually install and uninstall docu- ments into the database. It can also be run to guarantee the database is fully up-to-date. Note that because scrollkeeper-update is normally run during installation and its output is typically seen by users, non-critical warnings and errors such as those caused by invalid metadata are written to the log file instead of to the terminal. Developers should use the log file to identify any problems. OPTIONS
-v Be verbose: Say which scrollkeeper-install and scrollkeeper-uninstall commands are being run to bring the database up to date. -q Run in quiet mode, suppressing output of all but the most serious warning and error messages to STDOUT. Note that most output to the log file will be unchanged. -n Use the network to retrieve the DTD if it is not available via the system's XML catalog. -p database-directory Use database-directory as the directory for the scrollkeeper database rather than the usual one obtained by running scrollkeeper- config --pkglocalstatedir. -o omf-directories Examine the directories named in omf-directories rather than the one usual one obtained by running scrollkeeper-config --omfdir (or specified in the OMF_DIR environment variable if set). The omf-directories should be a colon-separated list of directories. ENVIRONMENT
OMF_DIR If no -o option is specified, this variable overrides the scrollkeeper-config-provided OMF directory. It should be a colon-sepa- rated list of directories. FILES
