Re: ldapdelete: Use wild card to delete multiple enetries

[Rébeli-Szabó Tamás <tamas.rebeli.szabo@webvalto.hu>]

Hi,

you cannot use wildcards in deletes as per my understanding. You can, 
however, use wildcards in search filters.

If you are on a Unix-like system, you can feed the output of a search 
with a bit of transformation into ldapmodify.

You may want to try something like this (I ran this on Linux):

ldapmodify -f <(ldapsearch -b "dc=ALCATEL,dc=FR" "(cn=Parveen30*)" | 
grep dn: | sed 's/$/\nchangetype:delete\n'/)
