Thread: Deleting files that meet certain criteria

hey there, hope you're doing great!

i'm here of course because know ssh command issue if need delete files meet criteria.

instance, in case, have files bear same name still have minor differences. logs.

let me give example:
l0619000.log
l0619001.log
l0619002.log
l0619003.log
l0619004.log

in bold i'd have removed, while "l0619004.log" left intact.

thank , have awesome day!

if files want delete older other files, possible time-based, this:

code:

for file in "$( /usr/bin/find /path/to/directory -type f -mtime +2 )"   /bin/rm -f $file done

this delete files in /path/to/directory older 2 days.

suggest take @ find man page:

code:

man find
