guys, (of either gender) here's one that is a bit difficult to figure out how to ask, but here's my first shot: i'm looking for a file what contains string "S". the filename in this case has a zillion letters, but that beside the point. i can use grep to find "S" and grep gives me the file[s] that have the string. now, is there any easy way of reading that file, or deleting or otherwise munging that file? nutshell is that every time i reboot (into kde), kde wastes time/cpu spawning unwanted whatever: versions of konqueror, kttsd, ksayit, &c. [[i found these files in ~/.kde/share/config/session, about 20, dated may, 09 to oct 08. rm'ing the bunch would get rid of the instantiate problem, but having a script to diddle with a found string "S" would be useful esp'ly if the filename of pathname were long. i'll mouse swipe the string and fname to prove my point.thanks for any help.gary ps: if scripting this is too grizzly i'll do it in C and do an inline post of src and example use.
Do you mean something like rm `grep -l S *` or am I completely missing the point of what you're trying to do? -- --Jon Radel j...@radel.com
