Hi all...have the
I need to compare two dir and delete files in the second dir that
same name as in the first. How could I do this?
Try:
cd <<directory containing files you might delete>>
for i in *
do
if [ -f <<path to other directory>>/${i} ]
then
rm $i
fi
done
Try this first without the actual "rm" statement, replace it with
something like "echo ${i} should be deleted" That way you can tell what
it would do and whether you like the results.
Cheers,
Simon
