Find with regex

hi,

how to use find with regexp? For example to remove all files that conatain t1, t2, t3 words I would write

find -type f -regex /t[123]/ -exec rm {} \;

but it does not work


thanks

I'm not sure where you are trying to do this. It looks like you are attempting to use the *nix find command, which means this post is in the wrong place. But never the less here you are:

That should do your job. If you are doing as I think you are xargs will be more efficient than rm {}
You also don't need to specify -regex, you just need to specify the identifier flag, such as -name.
