[find] remove folders with prune option.

object

• remove folders with prune option
  
• remove folders with prune option from the list.
  

1. find the folder which is located under 2 depths and remove it.

$> find ./*/* -type d -prune -name $FOLDER_NAME -exec rm -Rf {} \;

2. remove them from list file.

#!/bin/sh

echo "start the program"

if [ "$1" == "" ]; then

        echo "There isn't filename";

        exit;

else

        echo "file name is $1";

        if [ ! -f $1 ]; then

                echo "filename: does not exists";

                exit 1;

        elif [ ! -r $1 ]; then

                echo "filename: can not read";

                exit 2;

        fi

fi

while read line

do

        echo $line

        find ./*/* -type d -prune -name $line -exec rm -Rf {} \;

done < $1

I'd rather remove them from list than executing each line.

I thought you could try it like me!
