to clean some directories of mine, I use rm -rf * but files named as `.log' are not removed.
Dot files are not expanded by * - to remove just the .log files, for example:
find ./ -type f -name .log -exec rm -rf {} \;
To remove everything in $PWD, similar to rm -rf:
find ./ -exec rm -rf {} \;
These are just quick examples - find has many powerful options to make
the above much "safer" - be careful.. ;)
