Problem :
I have files like file.log.1.gz
, file.log.2.gz
, …, file.log.100.gz
. I want to have a loop from 1
to 100
to delete these files. How can this be done?
I tried this command in Linux:
for i in $(seq 1 100); do rm -rf file.log.$i.gz
Solution :
Your done
is missing.
for i in $(seq 1 100); do rm -f file.log.$i.gz; done
I removed -r
because recursion is useless when the argument is a file.
This loop-less syntax should also work in bash
. It feeds all the names to a single rm
:
rm file.log.{1..100}.gz
