I'am asking help to solve problem on deleting files having symbol ' or " or ( in his name.
Actually I'am using this script:


#!/bin/bash
DIR=$2
GG=$1
##### Ripulitura cestino di rete
rm -f /tmp/lista 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
find $DIR/* -ctime +$GG -depth \
-exec echo "echo \"Rimuovo il file: {}\";
rm -f '{}';
rmdir '{}';
" >> /tmp/lista \;
chmod 755 /tmp/lista
/tmp/lista



It works fine until it find files like this, for example:

file'.txt
test"one".exe
.....
....
and so on


Have you any idea ?
Thanks

In a shell some chars have different meaning. In the case of single and double quotes they need to be escaped, or you need to work the IFS so the shell doesn't interpret them. This should work: 'find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -iX /bin/rm -f 'X''.
