This will do what you want much better[1]: find /path/to/WSWebStar.prefs.xml_backup -exec rm \{} \; or you can use this ls /path/to/WSWebStar.prefs.xml_backup | xargs rm to do pretty much the same thing. Learning to use "find" is an important step on the way to becoming a proficient *nix admin. You can even limit the files that "find" will return based on date, for example: find -mtime +3 /path/to/WSWebStar.prefs.xml_backup -exec rm \{} \; would delete files which were last modified greater than 3*24 hours ago. John 1. Don't run random commands that some idiot ;-) on a listserv sends you without understanding what it does! Always replace destructive commands with non-destructive commands to test, before executing. -- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4501 Forbes Boulevard Suite H Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5748 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
