find <directory> <pattern> | xargs rm
This would be faster if really many files have to be processed.

Thema: AIX Question!
Hello All,
I'm came across an issue yesteday, does anyone know a way around
deleting a large number of files without getting the 'parameter too
long'
message. i.e. I was trying to delete all the file that began with
program*.
There were too many files, so I had to actually cut my search down, to
something like program01* and so forth, to avoid the error message.
Thanks......
Regards,
Bassam
