rm *.extension or file* deletes all files

and now I need to download all my music again...

[fandreuz]

Linux shell works in the same way. I'm sorry for what happened to your music

[licaon-kter]

@codebam So if you execute rm MusicAAA.* and the file MusicBBB.mp3 gets deleted?
If so @Andre1299 that's a bug, the Linux shell does not work like that.

[fandreuz]

I didn't understand the problem was that. I'm sorry, I'll solve this in the next release. Indeed, I'm very sorry for your music

[codebam]

Yeah the problem was that anything prefixed with or at the end of with a * deleted all files in the current directory without warning. So another bug should be not to allow folder deletion without the -r flag, and only do it without prompt with -rf. Also, @licaon-kter not exactly sure what you were trying to say. I executed rm *.log which should have removed all the log files in the root of /sdcard, instead it deleted all files and folders inside /sdcard. No problem about the music @Andre1299, I can't really blame you since I was the one who ran the command knowing it might not be stable.

[licaon-kter]

@codebam That what I said, you try to remove a file and another file is deleted too. See AAA and BBB ;)

[fandreuz]

It will be solved in next build

Are you using different code than linux binary rm?

[fandreuz]

@HassanHeydariNasab yes, I had to. you can find the whole source here: https://github.com/Andre1299/TUI-ConsoleLauncher/blob/master/app/src/main/java/ohi/andre/consolelauncher/commands/raw/rm.java

[HassanHeydariNasab]

in 4.3.b1 rm foo* doesn't work (File not found) but rm *bar works.
Can you explain why you had to use your own rm code?

[fandreuz]

actually, you can't do this. maybe in next versions. you are able to do only
rm filename.* ---> delete all files with name "filename"
rm *.mp3 ---> delete all files with extension "mp3"

I need to use custom rm code to be able to use useful things like suggestions and custom directory positions

[HassanHeydariNasab]

What's your work different than passing arguments to rm linux binary?

Do the suggestions,... here:

rm -abc foo

and do this:
cd $dir && rm -abc foo

[fandreuz]

ok

I think rewriting the rm command would be a bad idea, at that point you are sort of just rewriting the tools that are already there. The rm command has advanced options that aren't as simple as just removing a file. Why not pass the full typed string to the real rm command in the background and display its output by adding &> /data/local/tmp/tui-console_out to the end of the string you're passing? Just an idea, it's your app of course.
