Re: script to remove files each day

The problem is that you are not quoting your -name arguments. ABCD* should be 'ABCD*'. You want find to do the expansion NOT the shell.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Thanks, Clay! The quotes got lost somewhere in the cut and paste process and I never even noticed.
