I am trying to delete a load of core files, but make sure I only delete core files. The system I am using has many files with core in the name, so I obviously can not simply search for "core".
I have tried using the 'find' command with pattern matching via [0-9], and know that his is the way forward. However, I can not work out how to ensure there are no alphabetic characters in the file extension.
However, this will still delete files called "core.1a". Please do not question why anyone would call I file this - it just might be the case, and I have to ensure I avoid these files.
So I need a regular expression that will find:
files
starting with "core."
with an extension of one or more numbers
without an alphabetic lower or uppercase character in the extension
Must be a pretty standard cron job set up an many systems I imagine?
