Automatically Delete Files w/o Extensions

Post by Hoosier205 »

So I have been been using Sabnzbd for several months and just today found the joy of utilizing sorting and such. Now All of my video files are being renamed, moved and the necessary files deleted. I only have one problem remaining. A certain show I download comes along with a singe text file for each episode. All of the other rubbish that I don't want (just keeping the .mkv file) is automatically deleted, but these text files remain. I am on macOS and the text files do not have any file extensions either within my seedbox or after downloading to my Mac. It's just a filename. No extension.

(Show Name) - SxxExx - (Episode Title)

Is there something I can add to my Cleanup List to get rid of these? I tried '' but it didn't have any effect (found this suggesting elsewhere on the forum for a different sort of problem). Right now I am manually deleting them from my Seedbox's file manager.

I have attached a link to one of these files. I edited the name of it. Inside the text file is just a single line of gibberish. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fi ... 3824882077

Thank you!

I can't think of any way. Except maybe to write your own post processing script to do this, that scans the final directory of a job for such files.

Thank you. I think I will just live with it. I’m lucky I’ve managed to figure out what I’ve done so far. :) Plus, it seems to be unique to this one uploader.
