How to 'echo "" > x' on multiple files

What is the best way how to empty a bunch of files in bash? As far I've been doing this

echo "" > development.log
echo "" > production.log

I don't really want to delete those files, so rm is not possible. I've tried many things like

echo "" > *.log

but nothing worked.

Solution 1:

You don't need the echo. Just

>filename

will empty the file. To edit rassie...

for FILE in *.log
do
   >"${FILE}"
done

The quotes and brackets are preferred, as they will correctly handle files with spaces or special characters in them.

Just for fun, another variation combining Eric Dennis' find with everybody else's redirection:

find . -name "*.log" -exec sh -c ">{}" \;
