Re: Deletion of files in IFS /root

You can do this in CL by executing

chgvar &command ('find /dirname ! -name' *bcat &filetokeep *bcat '| xargs rm -i')
qsh cmd(&command)

Hi, Manoj:

If you have installed qsh, then start that shell, and do:
   find /dirname ! -name File2 | xargs rm -i

This will find all files NOT named File2, and prompt for removal of each.

The quicker and less safe method would be:
   find /dirname ! -name File2 | xargs rm -f
