Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi everyone,

I am new here and generally not experienced with linux. My question must be easy, but as for now I have no idea how to do it.

I have lots of directories with numerical names, e.g. 50 50.1 50.12 etc. What I want is to leave directories with no or single digit after the decimal point and to remove the rest.

Does anyone have an idea how it can be done?

Best regards,
cabaciucia

Code:

root@bt> ls -d 50*
50  50.1  50.11  50.12  50.123  50.2

root@bt> ls -d 50.[0-9][0-9]*
50.11  50.12  50.123

root@bt> rm -ri 50.[0-9][0-9]*

--ahamed

Thanks a lot!
