How to merge these two commands together
rm *.html rm *.xml 3 Answers
Simply rm *.html *.xml
Also see the man pages for Linux (or macOS) or try tldr which currently gives this output:
$ tldr rm rm Remove files or directories. - Remove files from arbitrary locations: rm path/to/file path/to/another/file - Recursively remove a directory and all its subdirectories: rm -r path/to/folder - Forcibly remove a directory, without prompting for confirmation or showing error messages: rm -rf path/to/folder - Interactively remove multiple files, with a prompt before every removal: rm -i file(s) - Remove files in verbose mode, printing a message for each removed file: rm -v path/to/folder/* $ Simply use
rm *.html *.xml It’s the shell that interprets the wildcard pattern(s) to carry out the filename expansion – not the rm command.
If you experience an error with the accepted answer, when there are no .html files, you could also chain the commands instead like: rm *.html; rm *.xml
