Hello, Masa
I'd like to mention it is quite complicate under Windows since the name of those
files are a "pure" numbers, like "23" "45" "12" etc.
This entails one can not apply any reg expression to delete all of them at once but "*".
Is it possible to supply any extension as well like "Cint". So I can remove them as follows:
del /tmp/*.Cint
With my regards,
Valery
