$ ksh <  to_delete.shl.

Write a shell script; named to_delete.shl ; that will create file of these files with the rm command. Edit the file and remove foo3 from being deleted The intention is to use the following command to delete these file

$ ksh <  to_delete.shl.

Answer 1

Create test files

touch foo foo1 foo2 foo3 foo4 "foo difficult" "foo
with
newlines"

Write a script to_delete.sh that will make a script to delete the foo files

for f in foo*; do echo "rm \"$f\""; done > to_delete.sh

Edit the file and remove foo3 from being deleted

vi to_delete.sh <<END
:/"foo3"/d
:wq
