Scripts to delete certain files sizes


Hi,

This file generated by asterisk recording. Now I need a script to delete the file under 4.0K sizes, so I can run the scripts in asterisk dial plan. Below the size of 4.0K are unwanted files.

4.0K 3001-02-04-2014-00:01-FROM-3002.wav
4.0K 3001-02-04-2014-15:39-FROM-3003.wav
4.0K 3002-02-04-2014-13:52-FROM-3003.wav
4.0K 3002-02-04-2014-13:53-FROM-3003.wav
4.0K 3002-02-04-2014-14:04-FROM-3003.wav
4.0K 3002-02-04-2014-14:52-FROM-3003.wav
4.0K 3002-02-04-2014-15:23-FROM-3003.wav

Many thanks
Sathees

Hi, the find program has a -size option and --delete too, see his man page you can make a search with find and delete all files of determined size.

You've been registered here for a year now...have none of the other answers about scripting you've been given helped at ALL?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ts-4175459768/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...es-4175459706/

Do not just post questions, and expect people to write your scripts for you; YOU, actually need to show some effort of your own. Post what you have written/tried, and tell us where you're stuck, and we can help you. Otherwise, look up some of the VERY easily found scripting tutorials, and read the man pages on the Linux command utilities, and start writing your own scripts.
