Question

I’m working on a solaris box. How do I go about deleting all files in a folder, which have the word”Failure” in them ?

i’m trying something in the lines of the following, but it doesn’t seem to remove anything.

rm -rf | find ./*.log -exec grep 'Failure' \;

Appreciate your inputs.

If I interpret correctly you don’t require recursive searching, so something like:

rm -f `grep -m 1 'Failure' ./*.log | cut -d: -f1`

should work. If not, try:

rm -f `grep 'Failure' ./*.log | cut -d: -f1 | uniq`
