Groovy syntax not working with backslashes

I'm trying to use a backslash on the command bellow at groovy syntax:
find /path/folder-* -type f -iname "file*" -exec rm -f {} ;
When I try to build this command on a Jenkins pipeline give me an error about this syntax. Even before I do this command have a warning with red syntax on Jenkins form field saying unexpected char: ''.
What could I do for replace or fix error with this backslash ?
Groovy commands:
node ("instance") {
stage ("cleaning folders"){
sh '''
find /root/logfiles/instance* -type f -iname "file*" -exec rm -f {} ;
'''
}
stage ("instance1"){
sh '''
rm -f /root/logfiles/instance1/*
echo instance1;
scp 100.0.0.50:/var/log/file1.log /root/logfiles/instance1/file1.log;
scp 100.0.0.50:/var/log/file2.log /root/logfiles/instance1/file2.log;
'''
}
stage ("instance1"){
sh '''
rm -f /root/logfiles/instance2/*
echo instance2;
scp 100.0.0.51:/var/log/file1.log /root/logfiles/instance2/file1.log;
scp 100.0.0.51:/var/log/file2.log /root/logfiles/instance2/file2.log;
'''
}
}
Notice: I have rm -f
for all instances at this moment. Will substitute all rm -f
to the find
command on the stage cleaning folders.
Tks in advance
bash find bash-scripting jenkins groovy

Could you please post your Groovy script (or Pipeline, or whatever it is that you're using to run that command)?

Since the slash character is simply escaping the following one, it may be that you just need to remove ir.

@davidgo in this particular case the backslash is definitely necessary to ensure the semicolon is parsed by find and not the shell.

It might help to escape your escape character, as funny as this might sound. Just put another backslash in front of your backslash:
stage ("cleaning folders"){
sh '''
find /root/logfiles/instance* -type f -iname "file*" -exec rm -f {} \;
'''
}
At least IntelliJ does not mark this as syntactically wrong.
It sound that worked fine. Tks!

'''
}
When you pass a semicolon to -exec
, find constructs multiple commands, one for each result of the find operation (e.g. rm -f /root/logfiles/instance/file1.log
, rm -f /root/logfiles/instance/file2.log
, ...), but when you use a plus, find constructs a single command with multiple arguments, which is much more efficient and fast (e.g. rm -f /root/logfiles/instance/file1.log /root/logfiles/instance/file2.log ...
). See the man page for find for more detail (sorry I can't quote the man page or provide more detail right now; I'm on mobile).
