Ostyman's Rumblings

for i in `ls -1 /Users/Username/Downloads/*.QFX 2> /dev/null`; do srm -m $i; done

Script for cron on OSX. Can be adapted for any file pattern.

Could also be done with xargs.

UPDATE

The case-insensitive way to do this is as follows:

for i in `find ~/Downloads/ -maxdepth 1 -iname \*QFX\*`; do srm -m $i; done

Added bonus of no stderr to suppress since we’re using find as opposed to ls.

Task

Create 11 folders in sequence in a given directory:

Week 1
Week 2
…
Week 11

Bash

Pop open Terminal.app, then issue the following command:

for i in {1..11}; do mkdir “Week $i”; done

Extra Bits

This works in reverse as well if you need it to:

for i in {11..1}; do mkdir “Week $i”; done
