[Asterisk-Dev] Question on using system(find args -exec rm {} \; )

[bday at prosodiemail.com]

Tilghman,

Thank you... your suggestion to escape the backslash \\\ fixed my problem!
It now correctly executes. :)  

Noel, I tried your suggestion of -exec rm \{\} \;), but it didn't work, I do
appreciate your suggestion.

Regards,
Bill

No, what he really needs to do is to escape the backslash, as both
Asterisk, as well as bash(1), need the escapes:

system(find /foo -exec rm {} \\\;)

This question belongs on the -users list.
