Removing a type of file recursively.

October 11th, 2009 No comments

Sometimes during my work I need to remove a set of files from a big directory tree. For example when I develop a driver or an application and I want to distribute to my customers only the obj files and the documentation files (README.txt, INSTALL.txt, LICENSE.txt, Makefile ……) I need to remove all my source code (*.c and *.h), this is a very tedious task, but I can use the bash to do this task for me, and I’m quite sure that bash doesn’t forget any files.
