Grep + Awk
another tips for unix file management :
how to use grep an awk combined ? here is a simple example : i want to delete those boring ._* files created by macosx that i scp to my server
make a test :
find myDirectory/ "\._*" | grep "\._" | awk '{print "rm "$1}' > tmp_file
if cat tmp_file looks good, then execute the code !
find myDirectory/ "\._*" | grep "\._" | awk '{print "rm "$1}' | sh
there is probably better but i just know this tips :)
