Shell Programming and Scripting

My folder is/app2/istech/scratch, which contain all the below files.

I need to delete the files which start from the prefixes.

dup_events_*.*
Event_*.*
New_time_*.*
New_Loc_*.*
New_Uptime_*.*
Detailed_Reason*.*
cmt_dup_*.*
Uptime_*.*

Can anyone please let me know how to write a shell script for this, it would be of great help.

Thanks,

Try:

Code:

find /app2/istech/scratch -type f \( -name "dup_events_*" -o -name "Event_*" -o name "New_time_*" \) -exec rm {} \;

Add the rest of the file prefixes before the red bracket as: -o name "prefix*"

Code:

DIR=/app2/istech/scratch 
if [[ -d $DIR  ]]; then
  cd $DIR 
else
  exit
fi

for str in dup_events_ Event_ New_time_ New_Loc_ New_Uptime_ Detailed_Reason cmt_dup_ Uptime_
do
  find . -name "$str*.*" -exec rm {} \;
done

Thanks for the replies guys, will try and let you know.

Thanks,

Iam using the above syntax to delete the files, Iam getting this permission denied error,
Any idea how to resolve this.

Thanks,
