linux - I have directories named pack1 - pack255. What command could I use to remove pack1-55? -

something >rm pack*{1,2,3,4,??} , remove last 5 in list format? new this, still getting grips syntax!

try this:

$ echo rm -rf pack{1..55} rm -rf pack1 pack2 pack3 pack4... 

if works, can remove echo:

$ rm -rf pack{1..55} 

if doesn't, may have set braceexpand:

$ set -o braceexpand 

then try again.

don't forget, if you're removing directories, need -r recurse parameter of rm command.
