This one is specific to mac, as there are other *nix equivalents. It has similar functionality to find but uses the Spotlight index. It allows you to search your entire filesystem in seconds. You can also use it to give you live updates when new files that match your query appear. I use it most often when I’m trying to find the obscure location that an application stores some critical file.
mdfind -onlyin . -name url -0 | xargs -0 rm
mdfind -onlyin . -name url -0 | xargs -0 -J % rm -rf %
mdfind -onlyin . -name url -0 | xargs -0 -J % cp % /tmp // -J % 可以把 % 當做送進來的參數
如果是用find
find . -type f -name *.js -print0 | xargs -0 rm
