As a Linux user, you may have to get the following error:
bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long
There are a lot of methods to resolve this issue, but I use this stupid and simple one:
Here the code (copy, type vi rmany.sh, paste the code):
[code lang=”bash” autolinks=”false” collapse=”false” firstline=”1″ gutter=”true” htmlscript=”false” light=”false” padlinenumbers=”false” smarttabs=”true” tabsize=”4″ toolbar=”false”]#
# rmany.sh
# – List or delete a lot of files…
# …specially in this folder!
#
# (c)apasca
#
#
#!/bin/bash
#
for X in *.$1
do
$2 "$X";
done
#
# FIRST:
# chmod +x rmany.sh
# alias rmany=’./rmany.sh’
#
# USAGE:
# rmany [EXTENSION] [COMMAND]
#[/code]
You need to make it executable (chmod +x rmany.sh) and optionally add it as alias (alias rmany=’./rmany.sh’).
If you have created an alias you can type on console simply “rmany txt rm” and press enter!
Your input is rmany [EXTENSION] [COMMAND]
