UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello friends,

I am compiling some set of SQL scripts in a set of sub directories demoed as below. After compiling log files are being created.
Each and every time after compiling time I had to go subdir by subdir to delete the log files. I am sure there should be simple way to look for all log files and delete them.

Could someone please provide the script/command to do so.

Thanks

Try this and if you get the log files that is to be deleted then use xargs rm

Code:

cd /maindir
find . -type f -name \*.log -print

Code:

find . -type f -name \*.txt -print | xargs rm

Hi,

If you have teh sql file list in the file sqlfile.lst, the below one will execute each sql files adn remove the log files...

cd dir and find together in a single step

Code:

find /maindir -type f -name *.log -print

' \* ' is not needed

Thanks alot guys
