How about:
find . -type f -name '*.dat' -delete
-type f will make sure you don't delete directories.

Hi.
Test file with a name of:
67.205.168.80_PID.dat
find . -name '*.dat' -exec ls {} \;
displays the file
but
find . -name '*.dat' -exec rm -f {} \;
doesn't delete it.
thoughts?
Just a thought, does the delete fail because your userid doesn't have enough access to be able to delete them, hence you may
have to do the delete through sudo?

Steve
thanks
