Delete multiple files with wildcard

[PiBorg]

Hi

I want to delete several files with the extension .lnk from the folder files. In Tasker there is only the menu item File -> Delete File. Using the menu it is not possible to delete multiple files with the wildcard *.lnk.

So how can I delete several files in one go?

Thanks for your help

Not possible with tasker file actions. You might be able to do it with a action -> Code -> JavaScriptlet .  Just Google for some javascriptlet code.

To do it with tasker file actions you would need a for loop. You can get a filtered file list with the 'list files' action then delete them in a for loop.

Thank you so much for your feedback.  For a beginner the way was too complicated for me.  I solved it with a Run Shell rm -f and the absolute path to the folder/*

Thanks again
