I am looking for a unix command to delete all files within a directory without deleting the directory itself. (note the directory does not contain subdirectories).

this should do the trick
EDIT: added -i just in case (safety first). directory should be a full or relative path (e.g.
/tmp/fooor../trash/stuffs)
