Only zsh supports it. This removes all the regular files in the current directory except for any .tex and .pdf files.

Good for when your working on building a clean source install for RPM packaging or what have you. After testing, run this command to compare the original extracted source to your working source directory and it will remove the differences that are created when running './configure' and 'make'.

Uses zsh globbing syntax to safely remove all the files known to be generated by LaTeX, but only if there is actually a .tex source file with the same basename present. So we don't accidentally delete a .nav .log or .out file that has nothing to do with LaTeX, e/'[[ -f ${REPLY:r}.tex ]]'/ actually checks for the existance of a .tex file of the same name, beforehand.

A different way to do this, would be to glob all *.tex files and generate a globbing pattern from them:

or, you could use purge() from grml-etc-core ( http://github.com/grml/grml-etc-core/blob/master/usr_share_grml/zsh/functions/purge )

recursively deletes all broken symlinks using zsh globbing syntax.

sed '$ d' foo.txt.tmp

...deletes last line from the file

touch -t 201208211200 first ; touch -t 201208220100 last ;

creates 2 files: first & last, with timestamps that the find command should look between:

201208211200 = 2012-08-21 12:00

201208220100 = 2012-08-22 01:00

then we run find command with "-newer" switch, that finds by comparing timestamp against a reference file:

find /path/to/files/ -newer first ! -newer last

meaning: find any files in /path/to/files that are newer than file "first" and not newer than file "last"

pipe the output of this find command through xargs to a move command:

| xargs -ifile mv -fv file /path/to/destination/

and finally, remove the reference files we created for this operation:

rm first; rm last;

This is useful when you are uploading svn project files to a new git repo.

Code to delete file with gremlins/special characters/unicode in file name.

Use ls -i to find the INODE number corresponding to the file and then delete it using that find statement.

Like the above, but runs a single rm command

rm /SOME/PATH/*, when you hit "argument list too long".

executed on SLES 11.2

This simple command removes all the .svn directories recursively. Useful when you want to get a clean code excluding .svn files.

Check what is getting delete through this command

" find . -name '.svn' -type d | xargs echo "

This command won't delete resource forks from an HFS file system, only from file systems that don't natively support resource forks.

works only in zsh

Remove all zero size files from current directory. Its a not recursive option like:

find . -size 0c -exec rm {} \;

print pdf man ls

Remove all the hidden CVS merge helper files that I keep seeing in my IntellIj project

This command removes *.lock or files from a folder.

Here is the full function (got trunctated), which is much better and works for multiple queries.

function cmdfu () {

local t=~/cmdfu;

until [[ -z $1 ]]; do

echo -e "\n# $1 {{{1" >> $t;

curl -s "commandlinefu.com/commands/matching/$1/`echo -n $1|base64`/plaintext" | sed '1,2d;s/^#.*/& {{{2/g' | tee -a $t > $t.c;

sed -i "s/^# $1 {/# $1 - `grep -c '^#' $t.c` {/" $t;

shift;

done;

vim -u /dev/null -c "set ft=sh fdm=marker fdl=1 noswf" -M $t;

rm $t $t.c

}

Searches commandlinefu for single/multiple queries and displays syntax-highlighted, folded, and numbered results in vim.

for music file of mp3.zing.vn

similar to previous except this exports to a temporary file, opens that file with your default web browser, then deletes it.
