Depending on what you are trying to do you may want to specify file type
e.g ' -type f '
as you can't 'rm directory' and may not want to use 'rm -fr' .
Hal expanded on the -type option in his online doc.
BTW, Hal, the .pdf does not seem to be searchable for text strings.
The file is all hex -- what have you done ???
