The best solution to delete all .poop files in a directory is
find /my/directory -name \*.poop -exec rm {} \;
Better still, with a recent version of find:
find /my/directory -maxdepth 1 -name \*.poop -exec rm {} +

Hello,
While I'm deleting about 9000 files in a directory, the rm command shows
that error message:
Arg list too long.
Could you tell me how to solve this kind of problem?
Thank you very much~
Regards,
Amy Lee
