how to delete files without extention?

[NewDisplayName]

Hi,

how i can delete files without extention?

[JonathanM]

Same as ones with an extension?

 

Please restate with more detail on what you are trying to accomplish, because I am not aware of any limitations for deletion that are caused simply by a file with no characters after the period.

Unless I read this wrong, the OP wants to run the deletion from a terminal in which case its probably going to be

find . -maxdepth 1 ! -name "*.*" -delete

Please do not add -delete until you are ready.

Oh no, it also finds directorys.. how to exclude dirs?

 edit:

Ok, i foudn it: 

find /mnt/user/downloads/completed/ -type f ! -name "*.*"

Thanks!

Good that there was no accident.

You may want to be more precise with the request next time

Would have been only some empty directorys, but... better safe then sorry lol

 

yeah i thought its self explinatory, but i guess, if you dont into it, you cant know whats meant... lol its hard to descripe what you mean in a different language then you speak.
