File delete option - wildcards?

[leopheard]

Hi all,

I am trying to take and email a series of photos to an email address using the Python SendemailA.py script as mentiobed on this forum. I'm then trying to delete the photos just taken by using the file -> delete -> /folder/etc/*.jpg command.

For some reason, it will not delete all .jpgs in this particular folder as it thinks that the *.jpg is an actual file. Any ideas? What is the ALL equivalent wildcard? For years I have used *.* to refer to any file name with any extension, but is this just Windows?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want standard shell behaviour, use a shell:

Script / Run Shell rm /path/to/dir/*.jpg

That's excellent, many thanks for your help!
