Linux CLI: rm

http://webhole.net . Learn how to remove files using the command "rm". This command has a few options that I did not go over since they're easy to get so to see those options type "man rm" and press enter. If you have any questions send us an email. Thank you for watching.

is there also a command to delete all files (in the directory) that ends with .txt?

[webholevids]

@23Vacuu yes, you use wild characters for that. If you want to delete all .txt files use *.text as your file name , the asterisk represents any number and any character. Another wild character is the question mark "?", this one represents only one character, so using myf?le.txt for example would delete any of these files "myfile.txt", "myfale.txt", "myfzle.txt", "myf8le.txt" etc, you can use as many ?'s as you want in a file name.

@23Vacuu I meant use *.txt not *.text, sorry. Also, these don't just work with the rm command but also with any other.

If you press Ctrl+Alt+F1 you get a command line. Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the GUI
