delete-file

I am trying to write a command to remove recursively several files with different extensions (*.extension1, *.extension2 etc) from the current directory and all its related sub-directories. So far I got this command from another post but I couldn't workout how to adapt it to more than one file in the same command line: find . -name "*.extension1" -type f -delete Is it as simple as below? find . -name "*.extension1";"*.extension2" -type f -delete Just as a side note , these are all output files that I do not need, but not all are necessarily always output so some of the extensions might not be

Goal: Use a script to run through 5 million - 10 million XML files and evaluate their date, if older than 90 days delete the file. The script would be run daily. Problem: Using powershell Get-ChildItem -recurse, causes the script to lock up and fail to delete any files, I assume this is because of the way Get-ChildItem needs to build the whole array before taking any action on any file. Solution ?: After lots of research I found that [System.IO.Directory]::EnumerateFiles will be able to take action on items in the array before the array is completely built so that should make things more

Say I've got a folder in my iOS app's data directory with several thousand small files in it. Deleting this folder (via [NSFileManager removeItemAtPath] ) takes a nontrivial amount of time. But on OS X, deleting a folder with the same contents is very fast. It seems to simply unlink the folder from the filesystem. So why does iOS take so long? What is the difference? Edit: On an iPad 3, deleting 3 folders with 5,000 to 9,000 files each takes about 35 seconds. On the simulator running on an older Retina MBP, it takes about 1.5 seconds. Harsh The hierarchical structure that you see is not "real"

I have the following rules for user post image uploads, however current rules don't allow file deletion. How can I modify the rules to allow user to delete his pictures? What property on request variable indicates that a request is DELETE ? match /{uid}/posts/{pid}/{imageName} { allow read; allow write: if (uid == request.auth.uid) && (( ((imageName == "pic.jpg") || (imageName == "pic.png") || (imageName == "pic.gif")) && (request.resource.size < 5 * 1024 * 1024) && (request.resource.contentType.matches('image/.*')) )); } Is there something like this?: request.method == "DELETE" I can't find

Is it possible to ignore deleted files in git? git update-index --assume-unchanged allows me to ignore modifications, but it still tracks deletions. (This is similar, but I couldn't find where "John Doe" restated his question: Ignore modified (but not committed) files in git? ) VonC Rather than trying to ignore the "delete" status, I would: not remove the directory and those files in it split the Git repo in two , effectively detaching the subdirectory to be removed into a separate Git repository. go on with the main Git repo. Note: that may not be compatible with a Git repo currently

My Panasonic camera uses its stupid PHOTOfunSTUDIO to import photos. It creates folders by the name of the date when photos are taken, and imports photos into those folders respectively. So far so good. But If I import again before removing all old pictures from camera, the old ones will be imported again by adding a name suffix (002),(003),..., no mater how I change the settings of that software. My question: how to remove all the files that having name suffixes from those folders? For example, this is one folder: D:\Photos\2011\2011-12-01>dir /b 20111201_184550(002).cont 20111201_184550(002)

I'm about to do a commit in TortoiseSVN involving rearranging a lot of files and directories. On the "commit" window, there are several files whose text status is "deleted" or "added" but others whose text status is "deleted (+)" or "added (+)". What does the (+) mean? (It's quite difficult to Google for a plus sign, and the word "plus" turns up lots of hits about the blue overlay icon meaning "added") The "+" means that TortoiseSVN was able to figure out the item's history, and has added the history metadata to this commit. For instance, say you rename a file from a to b . If you see the (+)

So what I'm trying to do is go into every folder in the following directory "C:\Documents and Settings\" and for every folder in it, regardless of the name, check if this path exists "C:\Documents and Settings\*\Local Settings\Application Data\CSMRpt\" if it exists then delete all txt files inside that director, if the path doesn't exists then do nothing and move on to the next folder inside "C:\Documents and Settings\" This is what I came up with so far: set PATH = "\Local Settings\Application Data\CSMRpt\" set FILETYPE = "*.txt" for /d %%g in ("C:\Documents and Settings\*") do if exist %%g
