A day or two ago, I noticed that somewhere in my effort to get
acquainted with my Debian box, a few hundred files of type 'c'
(character, as opposed to regular or block) had shown up in my home
directory. All were created 12/21/01. My wish is to be rid of them. I
did:
$ ls -l | grep "Dec 21" | less
and inspected the lot. There should be a way to delete these files
using grep and redirection/piping or a shell script. My thought is some
kind of iterative script, in pseudo code:
for x in ( ls -l | grep "Dec 21" )
do
rm x( suitably parsed )
done
exit
I haven't even begun to take on sh, bash, perl or any other scripting
language yet. So I would really appreciate some help on this.
