Shell script to remove backup ~ files
 

Not sure if this would be a combination of grep and rm, but I'd like to be able to run a script that scans all files in a directory and any directory under it to remove backup files.

ie. index.html~ or filename.txt~ - anything with a ~ as the last character ...

Any help on this shell script would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

find . -name '*~' -exec rm {} \;

Great, that works perfectly - thanks!
