Question 1 : In many .zip archive files I would like to delete directories anwsering to a name pattern. In a normal directory I used :find . -type d -name pattern -mtime +30| xargs rm -rIs it possible to find/delete these directories without having to unzip the .zip files? If I do have to unzip I have to zip them again after deleting those files, which I would like to avoid.I saw a few topics which advised to mount .zip files to use shell commands. Could it work for me too ? (I'm quite new to the Unix World).Question 2 : i did like Mark said and put everything in  a loop. It works fine but without asking for anything i get in the terminal for each deleted file/folder a line :deleting: blabla.txt.How is it possible to get these lines in a log file ? Just adding >> ${logFile} after the command line would be enough ?
