Re: Delete Files with root

Hi Michael,
copy & paste the following onto a bash prompt:

---
cat > deleteBroken.C << EOF
void checkFile(const char* n) {
   TFile* f = new TFile(n);
   Bool_t remove=(!f || f->IsZombie());
   delete f;
   if (remove) printf("Almost called gSystem->Unlink(%s)\n",n);
   //if (remove) gSystem->Unlink(n);
}
void deleteBroken() {
EOF
ls *.root | sed 's,^\(.*\)$,checkFile(\"\1\");,' >> deleteBroken.C
echo '}' >> deleteBroken.C
root -l -b -q deleteBroken.C
---

Instead of sed you can also use TSystem::OpenDirectory() / GetDirEntry() 
/ FreeDirectory() to iterate over files from within ROOT.
