Here is an example of code that will delete directories and their contents older than 2 weeks.
-type d says that you are deleting a directory and piping that to xargs with rm -rfv
means to force delete anything in the directory.
Code:
find /path/to/directory/directory_prefix_* -mtime +14 -type d | xargs rm -rfv
that code delete files or direct sub too?
friend in the directory have the attached file photo, without em, I Bargo the code below does not bring anything when I run
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 satverpv desa 2912 oct 24 17:38 1000169320160930.RSAT

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadUsereContributed PerlPerl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros(3pm)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros - Write "oct(755)" instead of "0755".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Perl interprets numbers with leading zeros as octal. If that's what you really want, its better to use "oct" and make it obvious.
$var = 041; # not ok, actually 33
$var = oct(41); # ok
chmod 0644, $file; # ok by default
dbmopen %database, 'foo.db', 0600; # ok by default
mkdir $directory, 0755; # ok by default
sysopen $filehandle, $filename, O_RDWR, 0666; # ok by default
umask 0002; # ok by default
CONFIGURATION
If you want to ban all leading zeros, set "strict" to a true value in a .perlcriticrc file.
[ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros]
strict = 1
