Help me to understand this command: find...| grep -e ... | xargs rm -f
 

Hi,

can anyone help me to understand this command?

find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT | grep -e "\\.la$" | xargs rm -f

I have a clue it has to find files SOMEWHERE containing
.la suffix, exclude the rest and delete them.

Please, give me more specific explanation of this.

Thank you.

Read up on regular expressions, will help you understand this and future commands like this !

Hi,

thanks for concern. I have tens of windows on with Linux help pages however some of the descriptions / explanations are hard to crack.
I am learning to understand it and thought that off-book explanation is better for me to get into my brain-cells.
