Re: [Maxima-discuss] Using Maxima to delete files and directories in a local machine.

[Michel T. <ta...@lp...>]

Like this:

Zbox:~$ mkdir A

Zbox:~$ maxima -q
(%i1) load("operatingsystem");
(%o1)
/usr/share/maxima/5.42.2/share/contrib/operatingsystem/operatingsystem.mac
(%i2) for i from 1 thru 10 do mkdir(string(A/concat(B,i)));
(%o2)                                done
(%i3) for i from 1 thru 10 do if oddp(i) then rmdir(string(A/concat(B,i)));
(%o3)                                done
(%i4)

Exit maxima

Zbox:~$ ls A
B10  B2  B4  B6  B8
