Unix rm files of same size
 
Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to remove all files of the same
size in one directory, in this case 0bytes.

$>rm...

Thanks in advance!

find -size 0 -exec rm {} \;

Thanks for response.

find -size 0 -exec rm {} \;
- searches subdirectories as well and removes the matches.

Quote:

for i in `ls`; do if [ -s $i ]; then echo $i data; else rm $i; fi; done
- found this that only removes in current directory and not subdirectories.

find /<path>/<to>/<directory> -size 0 -exec rm {} \;

should also restrict the search to the named directory.
