How to delete files in UNIX using shell script

Expand Post »

Hi,

I have the following task to perform using shell script.

The user will provide a directory name along with a date. The script will delete all the files in the specified directory that was created earlier to that date. Also it should display the number of files that has been deleted.

Please help. Thanks in advance!
