Hi all,
I want to delete the all of the cache-2 files under a directory, so I
use the following line to do this:
if [ -f *.cache-2 ] rm *.cache-2
But it seems that this -f parameter in the _if_ command will not work
with wildcard, i.e., the _[ -f *.cache-2 ]_ isn't a valid arg. Any
hints on this issue?
