DelList.sh (GPL)

Originally, I wrote this DelList software for Java, intending to run it on any operating system. Ironically, when I went with a hosting service, Java isn't installed. So I was forced to write this utility for the UNIX shell environment.

DelList.sh helps you delete a list of files. It's most useful when you use it with the UNIX find utility. DelList.sh takes a list of file from the standard-input. If the file exists, then it deletes the file. It's a pretty simple script, but it is very useful.

DelList.sh is distributed as executable source code under the GNU General Public License. Please see the license agreement elsewhere on this site.

Example

  find . -name "*.tmp" 2> /dev/null | DelList.sh

The above example deletes all files with the "tmp" extension from the the current directory and all sub-directories.

Attached File: DelList.sh (285 B)
