OK, maybe I should have said: That is bash shell code, not POSIX compliant shell code, so it will only work in bash or maybe ksh93. Smilie

Code:
for i in FolderA/*
do
  rm -f "FolderB${i#FolderA}" 2>/dev/null
done

Code:
ls FolderA |
while read file
do 
  rm -f "FolderB/$file" 2>/dev/null
done

There's a also slight difference in the meaning of "shell code" in computer security. In computer security, a shellcode is a small piece of code used as the payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability (as defined by Wikipedia). Its not to be confused with "shell scripting code". Smilie
