Subject: How to pass something on to xargs rm?
Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2016 11:33:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d1gd7gji.fsf@wasp.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me> (raw)

Hi,

I have some scripts and small applications I'm slowly moving over
to guile.
One of them features this[0] line at the end which passes results on
to xargs rm. I picked a start with just (system*) everything I
had before to learn about the behavior and outcome, and improve
from this point.
I know that "|" will not work, so what else could possibly work
(for starters, in the long run I'll generalize and extend what I
currently have) to execute this command which deletes every file
listed in the previous search?

[0]: notmuch search --output=files tag:deleted | xargs -L 1 rm

Thanks,
--
