[GRASSLIST:2474] wildcards

Kirk_R_Wythers · February 5, 2004, 3:53pm

I have a large number of raster files to remove from a mapset. Are wildcards available to expedite this process?

Thanks,

Kirk

It's far far better to use the "g.remove" function, than deleting the files by
hand (too many directories to search).
Why wouldn't you just write a small script to create the list of all your
rasters, and then call "g.remove" ?
Like

for map in ${maplist}; do g.remove ra=${map}; done

Your maplist can be created with as many wildcards as you want.

What about
g.mremove rast='pattern*'

Also, see g.mremove - IIRC it is just such a script...

That's what I'm look'n for. Unfortunately it does not seem to be implemented in 5.7 yet (sorry, I didn't say I was using 5.7 with a mid December build date).

oops... looks like I need to cvs up and try rebuilding.
