[colug-432] scripting question

[Johnathon Scott]

Hi all,

I am having difficulty understanding how to pass values to rm.  I want
to delete files that match a specific criterion.  I recently acquired an
os x machine and iTunes has doubled a significant portion of my
library.  But fortunately, the duplicates are easy to identify, they all
look like "foo 2.(mp3|m4a)".

What I have right now is "ls -R | grep "\ 2\.mp3" | rm -v".

Thank you for your time,

Johnathon Scott
