In my experience, what on Unix is done with generic built-in command-line utilities can often be done on Windows using special-purpose GUIs written by third parties (often non-gratis, or nagware/adware/etc.). It's obviously a vastly inferior system to those of us who are happy using command lines, or even who are accustomed to using open-source GUI software, but it can work. For instance, this program provides a function to "Delete files that match custom file name patterns and filters", and has a free trial version: http://www.microsystools.com/products/multibatcher/ So it's not accurate to say it's only feasible to use a command line here. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
