| 03:02.33 | jlp_znc | harleypig: I never use -delete directly from find... pipe the output from find into xargs instead. build your find command with -print to get it to print what you want, then switch to -print0 and pipe to xargs -0 rm |
| 03:02.55 | jlp_znc | i.e. find $dir -type f -iname '*.ext[12] |
| 03:02.58 | jlp_znc | arg |
| 03:03.09 | jlp_znc | i.e. find $dir -type f -iname '*.ext[12]' -print0 | xargs -0 rm |

| 03:27.52 | harleypig | jlp_znc: why? |
| 03:51.24 | RyanE | safer than guessing find's args, I'd guess, as you found out. |

| 04:14.06 | jlp_znc | mainly to stick with the "do one thing well" model of unix... I don't know when a -delete option was added to find, but it's certainly not in every implementation. |
| 04:15.11 | jlp_znc | used to be people would use -exec rm '{}' ';', but that was pretty terrible as it fired off an rm process for each file. I learned to use xargs a long time ago as it was more efficient (xargs will only run as many rm commands as necessary) |

| 08:21.35 | fadein | the + instead of the ; makes find act a bit more like xargs |
