I want file which includes "kernel32.dll" and I want to delete those files. And I have to do this with shell programming

 

[kisscool-fr]

what do you already tried ?

 

[cashua66]

In fact I want to delete virus files in my flash memory by shell prog.
my codes is

cd /mnt

a=`grep -i kernel32.dll *`
find "$a" /mnt -type f > /home/cashua/file.sh

this code doesn't work. it writes all file names in file.sh
And I want to delete those files in list of file.sh

If you want to delete using the find cmd, use

find [...] -exec rm {} \;

 

[kisscool-fr]

Take a look a the find(1) man page and specially the -delete option.

 

[cashua66]

How can do that can you write clearly

See the find(1) man page as shown in post #6 (Nasc Inchliceáilte!). Please also post a link to the homework assignment.

find /mnt/flash -name '*kernel32.dll*' -delete

I want to delete which file includes the string "kernell32.dll". Not file name kernel32.dll. Please help.

You mean like, [cmd=]grep -lr kernel32.dll .|xargs -d '\n' rm[/cmd]
?

Please also post a link to the homework assignment.

I'm interested too.

You may have noticed that many of us are kind of tiptoeing around the subject without just handing you the answer. That's because just giving the answer really doesn't do anyone any favors. It's better to help you learn how to do it, and how to look it up.

That said, here's a hint:
% man find | less +/-exec

Repeating again.

find /mnt/flash -name '*kernel32.dll*' -delete

2 Other forum people: stop using KDE4/QT4/sed/awk/grep/less/exec/sudo/named/httpd/`ls /bin/` or other random thing you use. This elementary thing can be done with 1 command.

Alt: that will delete files named kernel32.dll, not files that include the string "kernel32.dll".

Duh if hes talking about file's content then

grep -lr "kernell32.dll" /mnt/flash | xargs -n 5 rm -rf

Note: if there is 2 "l" letters before "32.dll", then nvm.. otherwise this command can delete *.exe and *.dll !
