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

[El O. De M. <obs...@gm...>]

I could not adapt the examples to what i want.

I tried to use the assistance of LLMs and went to test the following:

#!/bin/bash

# Specify the root directory
root_directory="C:/Users/Usuario/Downloads/Task"

# Loop through each subdirectory
for subdir in "$root_directory"/*; do
    if [ -d "$subdir" ]; then
        # Run the find command to delete directories in each subdirectory
        find "$subdir" -type d ! \( -name 'Common-Lisp' -o -name 'Maxima' \)
-exec rm -r {} +
    fi
done

but does not run in vscode because the path can not be found

By the way, the file i want to modify can be found here:
https://github.com/acmeism/RosettaCodeData/tree/main/Task

I think i must learn more about command line commands.

Best regards
