hi,

I have few core files in my working dir.

the dir has foll type of files

core.3423.232.tmp
core.332.3423.txt
core.42342.342.dmp
core.3432.342234.gz
javacore.3423432.3423
core.43243.3424

out of these type of core files i need to remove only the type which is shown in bold.
i.e. core.43243.3424


the nos are not the same, they vary.

can someone please help on the same. should i use find command or a normal ls and then grep and rm will work ?

so far, I have used the foll cmd to list all core files. I am unaware now to exclude the unwanted core files . Plz help.

find . \( -name core\* -type f \) -exec ls {} \;

Hi,

Tested on a none AIX system: The ! -name "core.[0-9]*[a-z]*" part excludes parts.

Hope this helps.
