Need a ss search and delete script

[cd34]

find . -type f -name \*.wmv -print | awk '{ print "rm \"" $1 \"" }' | sh

that will delete them if they include spaces, (, ), and other punctuation characters.

you could use xargs, but, if the list is long enough, xargs will say, too many arguments.

index4\*.html (would get rid of all files starting with index4 and ending with .html)

needs the \ in there.

Thanks a bunch Chop and cd34.....
Before you answered cd34 I I did find the following: find /path/to/dir -iname "*.txt" -exec rm {} \; which seems to work well as well. Thanks again!
