RE: Too many args for rm *.in
|
This is a shell limitation you can break up the command, E.g.:
/bin/rm a*.in or /bin/rm [a-d]*.in
A script will handle this quite nicely

Subject: Too many args for rm *.in
rm *.in fails with the error "too many arguments" (there is 15000
files).
How do I use it with more arguments? (xargs man page makes no sense at
all)
TIA
