Deleting all image files with "small" keyword

[Paolo Galtieri]

You can use

find . -type f -name "*.[sS]mall*" | egrep "\.jpg|\.png|\.bmp" >/tmp/L
while read line
do
  rm $line
done < /tmp/L

/tmp/L contains a list of files that match the regular expression in the
egrep command.  You can then read the file line by line and remove the
files.
