Not able to delete the files in day wise...

-rw-r--r-- 1 iims iims 5743 Jun 12 09:24 ErrorReport2008-05-20 09-25-03.doc

if i give the following command it is not working

find /iims-home/data/uat1/batch/staging/ -name "ErrorReport2008-*" -mtime +1 -exec /bin/rm {} \;

When i try to do ls command also failing?

bash-3.00# ls -ltr ErrorReport2008-05-20 05*
ls: 0653-341 The file ErrorReport2008-05-20 does not exist.
ls: 0653-341 The file 05* does not exist.


i think in file name there is a space (between bold letters).
ErrorReport2008-05-20 09-21-34.doc

Per day these files are creating around 30 GB. So if I want to delete one day older files (or) every hour files, how can I do that?

Please help me on this..

Thanks & Regards,
BVIJAY

Re: Not able to delete the files in day wise...

Easiest is to change whatever is creating the files to get rid of the space character. This is always problematic for scripts, and will continue to cause you problems for the years to come.

For one off cases you need to preceed the space character with a \ character thus:
ls -ltr ErrorReport2008-05-20\ 09-25-03.doc
