find . -name "*.txt" -exec rm {} \;
find . -name "*.txt" | xargs rm {}
-exec
1.参数是一个一个传递的,传递一个参数执行一次rm
2.文件名有空格等特殊字符也能处理
-xargs
1.一次将参数传给命令,可以使用-n控制参数个数
2.处理特殊文件名需要采用如下方式:
find . -name "*.txt" print0 |xargs -0 rm {}
实验结果如下,可以清楚看到参数传递过程
- [root@andes.com ~/tmp/dir]#find . -type f |xargs -t -n 2 echo
- echo ./data.txt ./env2.txt
- ./data.txt ./env2.txt
- echo ./env.txt ./export2.txt
- ./env.txt ./export2.txt
- echo ./s.txt ./d.txt
- ./s.txt ./d.txt
- echo ./export.txt ./set.txt
- ./export.txt ./set.txt
- echo ./fuck.txt
- ./fuck.txt
- [root@andes.com ~/tmp/dir]#find . -type f -exec echo begin {} \;
- begin ./data.txt
- begin ./env2.txt
- begin ./env.txt
- begin ./export2.txt
- begin ./s.txt
- begin ./d.txt
- begin ./export.txt
- begin ./set.txt

技巧: find -print0 与 xargs -0 的结合避免文件名有特殊字符如空格,引号等无法处理:
find . -name "*.txt" print0 |xargs -0 rm {}
find
-print True; print the full file name on the standard output, followed by a newline. If you are piping the
output of find into another program and there is the faintest possibility that the files which you
are searching for might contain a newline, then you should seriously consider using the -print0
option instead of -print. See the UNUSUAL FILENAMES section for information about how unusual char-
acters in filenames are handled.
-print0
True; print the full file name on the standard output, followed by a null character (instead of the
newline character that -print uses). This allows file names that contain newlines or other types of
white space to be correctly interpreted by programs that process the find output. This option corre-
sponds to the -0 option of xargs.
xargs
-0 Input items are terminated by a null character insteadof by
whitespace, and the quotes and backslash are not special (every
character is taken literally). Disables the end of file string,
which istreated like
any other argument. Useful when input
items might contain white space, quote marks, or backslashes.
The GNU find -print0 option produces input suitable for this
mode.
