+12Hi all,
What would be the line/commands to delete all network locations except for two (one named "Ethernet" and one named "Wi-Fi"). I want to delete any other network locations users may have except for two that i've create on their machines.
Thanks for your help forum!!!

#!/bin/sh
defaultIFS=$IFS
IFS=$'
'
for i in $(networksetup -listlocations | grep -v -e "Location 1" -e "Location2")
do
echo "Removing location $i"
networksetup -deletelocation "$i"
done
IFS=$defaultIFSquick & dirty, so test, test, test ;)

look for listallnetworkservices then loop on the result. and delete what you don't want.
+12I'm actually looking to write a command to add to a script...
+12I don't want to edit the "networkservices", but want to delete actual "networklocations"
+13#!/bin/sh
defaultIFS=$IFS
IFS=$'
'
for i in $(networksetup -listlocations | grep -v -e "Location 1" -e "Location2")
do
echo "Removing location $i"
networksetup -deletelocation "$i"
done
IFS=$defaultIFSquick & dirty, so test, test, test ;)
+12I've done that.. i know how to delete locations but don't know how to write an IF statement. I guess that what i need help with. I know the basic networksetup -deletelocation "locationname" and how to use it.
I just need help writing a command/statement that says if the network location name isn't (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) then delete it...
Sorry for the confusion...
+12@Chris Thats exactly what i needed. Thank you for the quick response! I'll test and reply back..Thanks again!
