Dear All

Is there an easy way to delete a file in each processor in parallell running an openfoam case. For example to delete U file in each processor for last time step in a decomposed case openfoam.


Thanks and rgds

If you wanted to remove the entire directories, this would be much easier:

foamListTimes -processor -latestTime -rm

To remove just one field, you could combine with some shell commands, Eg,

latestTime=$(foamListTimes -processor -latestTime)
if [ -n "$latestTime" ]
then
    /bin/rm ./processor*/$latestTime/U
fi

You could use OF's buildIn file management scripts:

foamListTimes -processor // lists all the time directories

foamListTimes -processor -latestTime  // lists the latest time directorie

foamListTimes -processor -latestTime -rm // removes only the latest time directory

For removing only one file, you could use bash:

ls -d processor* | xargs -I {} rm -rf ./{}/0/U

Copying back from 0.orig to processor*

ls -d processor* | xargs -I {} cp -r 0.orig/U ./{}/0/U

in the above replace 0 with the latest time directory to delete only the U file in latest time
