Wildcards such as ?/* would be really handy when dealing with massive data clearing efforts in GRASS.
For example, g.remove rast=foo??? would allow to get rid of foo001,foo002.....foo999, etc.

Hi Peter,

g.mremove is your friend.

g.mremove rast="foo.*"

Ciao

perhaps g.remove should print a warning when it sees '*' or '?' in a
filename?
