I need help in deleting files with specific patterns in a folder.
For example in C:/program Files/ I have files like: test_1.txt, test_2.txt, test_3.txt, test_4.txt, test_5.txt.
I would like to delete the files from test_2.txt to test_5.txt.
Thank you!
FOR /l %%i in (2,1,6 ) DO (
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b ^| findstr test_%%i') DO DEL %%a
)
This worked fine for me.
try this batch script
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b | findstr ^.*test_.[0-9]{1}\.txt') DO rd %a
You could use,
for i in `seq 2 5`; do rm -f test_$i.txt; done
That assumes you delete files from test_2.txt to test_5.txt. You should change the numbers if you're going to delete files in a different range.
