for i in `grep restart *` ; do rm -rf awk((^.*):?,$i) ; done

What is the correct syntax to awk the file name only 1AAEZ5-0006Ns-G1-D ?

This not tested but might be close.

awk '/restart/{sub(/:*/,""system("rm -rf " $0)}' *

Sorry, minor typo

awk '/restart/{sub(/:[red].[/red]*/,""system("rm -rf " $0)}' *

Farley99,

What about something simple like the example below?

grep restart filename | awk -F: '{print $1}'

Thanks,

John

Or even simpler:

awk -F: '/restart/{print $1}' filename
