I have a folder container several files, let say:
toto.txt
titi.fxd
fim.txt
yot.fxd
and fifi.log

I want to do delete all files with the .txt and .fxd extension!!!

how can i do this automatically?
 
perhaps something like:
Code:
foreach fnam [glob *.txt *.fxd] {file delete -force $fnam}

Thanks for the tips bong!!

However, I am getting a problem when ther is no *.txt files in the folder!!!

The problem is that I have to do this in several folders and sometimes there are *.fxd files only and sometimes both!!!

So, I need something which works in all cases!!!

Can you help me to solve this?
 
Code:
foreach fnam [glob [b]-nocomplain[/b] *.txt *.fxd] {file delete -force $fnam}
