Find and remove files
by hottdogg from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56FDY)
I need to remove files in a folder, periodically (using cron) and need to log the removal to a log file.
File name may contain whitespace in the middle.
Code:FINISHED_DIR=/foo/bar/dir1
for x in $(find ${FINISHED_DIR} -iname '*mp4')
do
rm -v "$x" >> removed_finished.log
doneThe script able to remove normal file without space but cannot remove file with space.
Anybody can give alternative solutions?
Thanks.
