| 01:52.49 | harleypig | anyone a 'find' guru? or at least, knowledgeable? |
| 01:54.04 | harleypig | I've got a fnd command ... 'find $dir -type f -iname *.ext1 -o -iname *.ext2 -delete' that isn't working as I expect. |
| 01:54.24 | harleypig | Without the -delete the correct files are found. With the delete nothing is output and the files are not deleted. |
| 01:54.55 | harleypig | If I try -delete in front of -iname then $dir is deleted. Thank heavens for backups ... |
| 01:56.48 | harleypig | Err ... no. If -delete is in front of -type f then $dir is deleted, if in front of the first -iname then all files are deleted, but the directories are left untouched. |

| 02:24.37 | harleypig | Hmmm ... so from the command line both 'find $dir -type f \( -iname *.ext1 -o -iname *.ext2 \) -delete' and "find $dir -type f '(' -iname *.ext1 -o -iname *.ext2 ')' -delete" work, but how do I get them in a shell?! |
| 02:25.35 | harleypig | find $dir -type f "'('" -iname "${iname}" "')'" -delete doesn't work. Replace ')' with \\) and I get the same error ... |
| 02:26.13 | harleypig | paths must precede expression: '(' ... ')' |
