Re: rm -r/-R/--recursive doesn't seem to work



> find . -name TRANS.TBL -exec rm {} \;

alternatively you could use:

  rm `find . -name TRANS.TBL`

which would have some advantages regarding speed & system usage, as rm
wouldn't be called individually for each file, but rather once for all
files.
